Biohazard ??
 

Has anybody noticed the proliferation of used face masks in parking lots, along the golf cart paths and in the roads? Evidently they are (or were) being worn by people concerned with not getting or not spreading the Corona-19 virus. What concerns me is the lackadaisical hypocrisy being displayed by these same people who are littering with these used masks.
(Oh, you don't care about our health, because you refuse to wear a mask).
I say: You don't care about anybody else's health, when you carelessly discard your used mask.)
Oh well.....I guess there's a problem no matter which side of the issue you are on.

Just something else to add to the beer/soda cans, food cartons, and general detritus that seems to be the new normal way of disposing of rubbish around TV!

I don't know where these incidents are located but I can say that certainly does not apply to the areas of TV where we live and participate.

First it was latex gloves, now it's face masks.

What a herd of cretins!

Reminds me of when I was a kid, playing in the crik, catching crawdads.

Occasionally a huge, round, rubbery looking worm would float along with the current.

Yes, we played in the crik and I am still here.

Have seen them laying on the ground around Bonita from time to time.

I've seen them on the ground from time to time...one near a P.T. place and also at Neighborhood Walmart. Also in the shopping cart.

I doubt very much if people are littering o n purpose. Masks are light and get blown out of golf carts. I see more hats, golf gloves club head covers, towels and plastic bottles than masks.

Sam's Club parking lot has special receptacles for PPE.

I agree with 'coalminer'

I have seen a few latex gloves the ground coming out of a Publix...and a 'homemade' mask on the ground in the parking lot....I was not pleased to see that

in hindsight, I suspect what might be happening is that folks are taking the masks and gloves off as they exit and between the wind, one hand holding on to the cart, arthritis and whatever else the gloves or masks that we are seeing are being unintentionally dropped.

different story regarding the litter that we see from time to time in the grassy areas along Morse and BV Blvd. I suspect that is blowing out of the back of a worker's pickup / or a trailer...or being deliberately discarded by a few folks that work here, but do not live here

the pigs are active. just throw it anywhere

Ditto.
 

I don’t see any litter in my area (Osceola Hills) or the surroundings. I find TV a beautiful place to live.

I am really surprised to read this. I used to see things tossed along the path sometimes on 466 and would fault those jealous of us living here and sometimes would blame the people who just visit us like some of the construction workers for a can or two or maybe some kids visiting grams and using her golf cart. I haven't been out much lately but in my "surveillance trip' with my husband a week or so ago, just to see for myself about the mask wearing a Publix parking lot, I didn't see any trash on the ground there and I DID see almost everyone wearing masks entering and leaving.

One of my friends reported being made fun of and told "oh, you look stupid, you are all like sheep to wear masks." I did think to get together the posse we formed years ago to keep law and order in The Villages, but many of our members now are in their 80's and declined. :boxing2: ;)

Call Community Watch give them something to do....OR Sumter county sheriff, give them something to do besides harrass
people at the square!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the cases on the rise it’s time to do your part, stay home if you don’t want to follow CDC guidelines. We are never going to get ahead of the curve if you don’t.

I live North of 466 and I do not see the "rubbish" you are describing.
