Fisherman - I respect your freedom to state your views. With regard to speculating on my situation - no, my strong lock-down state - did not have a high COVID outbreak - at any time. Our Gov decided to lock everything down. From my experience - being forced to stay in my home with no human contact - equates to no life and no purpose - to me, it is not living. Based on your opinion - it seems like you would love living in a state with strict lock downs. FYI - home prices and availability are abundant in lock-down states outside of FL (decent weather - I moved from a state with negligible snow and ice (never experienced once while I was there) - and lots of 55+ active communities!!).
We all face *NON* COVID virus related risks every day (other viruses are rampant contributing to cancer, poor habits that contribute to heart issues and stroke, driving on roads where there are drivers who are drunk,....) yet - we have learned to live and either made adjustments to what we do -or- accepted life w/the risks. Staying in a strict lock-down state was impacting my mental and physical health - and I took action to avoid that risk to my life. You have that same choice. Again, I want to be available to anyone who needs help -e.g., supplies, someone to talk to, ..... I know a lock-down (state or self imposed) can be severely debilitating and life threatening.

And that is your CHOICE to stay away!

We were there and cut our visit very short due to the lack of any social distancing or use of masks. The crowd was very large at 6:00PM, especially inside the square. It just astounds me when I see a crowd of this size with very few masks and standing/dancing closely. We left the square and had an outside dinner at the Mexican restaurant. It will be interesting to see if this was a super-spreader event. We'll know in a week or so. Hope not, but I'm not hopeful.

I would avoid that Spanish Springs "super spreader" like the plague. Get it PLAGUE !

There are those who think the danger of catching Covid-19 and becoming sick or dying is past.

You cannot modify ANYONE's behavior other than your own. Not with information, rules, laws, pleas, or good example.

I know that the vaccine will be offered very soon. I will wait a little longer to mingle with folks and smile into their eyes.

Then many of us will have to wear a bra again, but I am so looking forward to being among others safely.

Then we will all find something else to argue about.

Opinion and conjecture, but thanks for caring.

Thank you ! There are too many unanswered questions about this just as it’s a mutation of other Coronas strains ! The common thread between everyone.

I am sick of hearing about it.
I am sick of hearing from the dark side.
I am sick of people who are so eager to give up their freedoms because of media panic news.
I am sick of hearing from a bunch of old geezers who think they will live forever.
I am sick of hearing people tell me not to enjoy family for Thanksgiving.
In keeping with the holiday, they can “stuff it.”

No parking spaces and they want to build apartments there. Where would those tenants park??

[Davelinda91]

We were there, yes there were a lot of people crowding around the cars. I did not feel comfortable even with my mask on since others were not wearing theirs. I found a way to move and social distance and still enjoy walking around and enjoy the music even though I could See everything I was Able to hear everything. Find what makes you comfortable.

Maybe old pictures,because there were LOTS of masks. More on than off.

They'll sometimes add a third beer stand, a portable tent on the north side of the square. Some of the food trailers will be there such as Bobalou's BBQ, my favorite. I believe today was the first Cruise-in since last March.

NOT a MASK "one" among those hundreds of SHEEP (that so sadly brought THEMSELVES to market). Talk about peer pressure!.... Old and infirm - they dragged their "conforming" carcasses to the entertainment square - AKA slaughter zone - to escape their boring lives and be comforted by the close-quarters infected bodies of their fellow SHEEP.
.........And where did they get such high motivation to turn themselves into the "walking dead" of SHEEP? Maybe from some special TV programming or social media fantasy? Or possibly, from some strange harbinger of DEATH that was playing a round of golf lately - round man playing a round, sound familiar? Powerful propaganda forces are at work!

I made a copy of that square picture to remind myself of the old-time warning of, "man's inhumanity to man". The individual man / woman cares NOT one small thought about the consequences of maskless bumping close to another human being and the smiling transmission of a deadly disease to each other - droplets of CV were flowing like rain, not rain from God, but rain from hell! That picture and the actions of uncaring TV Landers saddens me for America's future. What have we become? Maskless North Dakota has the highest mortality rate per capita in the WORLD. Can a stubborn, uncaring maskless TV Land be far behind?

It’s better to live on your feet, than die on your knees! If anyone has ever wondered how a society was able to round up an entire group of Jewish people, or how and why the Berlin Wall was built. You need look no further than outside your window. That is what is going on in today’s society, and you maskers are standing idly by and allowing it. You should be ashamed. Oh also, please stop beating this dead horse and move on!
