Executive golf is certainly NOT a money maker. You are paying your dues no matter what

Given that study and the fact that practically no one wear masks, or distance themselves, at the City Fire bar & inside the square dancing to music shoulder to shoulder, it's no wonder the Villages daily infections have sky rocketed.

May not be a big money maker, but it sure is a big money loser if you have no income from all these golf courses that require a great deal of maintenance even when their shut down. However I am a golfer and believe it is safer then eating out in the CC that are attached to the Golf course and many other activities. We have to live among a great number of threats to our lives. This is another and we need to be careful. Just ask those that ride bikes in TV

God, will people just give it a break. The incubation period for COVID is 4 to 5 days. This was a teenager who I’m sure has not been sitting at home and doing nothing. She had been in school, maybe she caught it from someone who was asymptomatic. I sure sure she talked or was in contact with other people during this time. How many things did she touch during this time? Did she constantly wash her hands? Was she constantly wearing a mask? This a virus the same as a cold. Over the years how many times have you caught a cold and can’t remember being near someone with a cold. I’ll bet the answer is dozens. This is a pandemic virus and you can only do so much to avoid getting it. As they say in combat there is no safe place either you get it or you don’t. If you are that freaked out over it I would suggest you invest in a class five biohazard suit, sit in your house and wait for the vaccine. In the meantime I’ll continue to wear my mask, wash my hands and socially distance myself and try to have a normal a life as possible.

Somebody in the group had to interact with someone who passed on the virus.. It just doesn't magically appear. Give me a break.

Translation: it didn't happen. Article exists just to sell newspapers (or garner mouse clicks).

Ditto on this article. It's just hype to justify even more Orwellian control. Pretty soon, I'll be told to wear a mask while taking a shower in my own bathroom.

10 feet ... 25 feet ... so what. All of this has been happening for thousands of years. It's the same with the common cold or the flu virus (which does kill people). What's different now except control over the masses and to distract from some other things going on in the world?

If someone PROVED that I could catch COVID from particles that were carried via the jet stream 4000 miles away, I am STILL NOT GOING TO WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC and certainly not in my own home. Yes, the US Constitution TRUMPS anything these mayors, governors, health officials have to say. Guidelines? Fine. Orders? Absolutely not.

Why can't we all just worship the god of evolution which is taught in our public schools ... survival of the fittest? Let it all play out and the strong will perpetuate the race.
