Why doesn't The Villages management put together a team of individuals with the appropriate masks, hazmat gear etc. along with several trucks to deliver basic essentials food etc. to those who cannot leave their homes. Take a credit card over the phone and leave essentials on the doorstep. In order to get on the list for delivery you have to provide the name of your doctor and a phone number so that it can be confirmed that you are to be tested. With the tremendous wealth of the owners it seems they should be doing something like this. NO ONE IN THIS FAMILY HAS ANY SIGNS OF THE VIRUS BUT I WORRY ABOUT THOSE WHO MAY AND HOW THEY GET TAKEN CARE OF.

It seems easy to point to someone else to do something because "they're rich". Why don't you sell or mortgage one of your "two homes" that you seem so proud of and do the things you say with your own money? Too much risk? No benefit to you? Not your problem? If you are so worried about how others will be taken care of, then do something about it and stop telling others what they should do.
You obviously have the wealth yourself, as you lived here in this incredible community for 8 years and own 2 houses, by most peoples standards throughout the world you are rich and must have "tremendous wealth". Should we all now stand up and tell you how to spend your "tremendous wealth"?
So many are quick to judge the successful and assume they also possess great greed and self indulgence. What is not seen is the philanthropic efforts and generosity that most successful people also indulge themselves in; usually quietly, behind the scenes, and without need or desire for notoriety. The family responsible for the foundations of this community fit this mold. Not only do they do these generous efforts quietly, but they also quietly endure the barbs, insults, and accusations from many who have directly benefited from their efforts and life's work.
Many who have not been in business for themselves do not see the great risks taken each day with this tremendous wealth; spending and investing millions (or more) in new products, developments, and ideas. These are risks that come with rewards and the original poster admits to being the beneficiary of these rewards for 8 years, for the risks taken by others. Somehow this is not enough.
A large number of residents who live here in The Villages also fit this description of generosity and give greatly of themselves, their time, and their own personal well earned wealth to help others and the community. Hats of to all of these wonderful people:ho:! For those that have to face the green eyed monster of envy in the morning mirror, that is a demon of your own making, deal with it yourself.
