Thank you, good answer that I respect.

One can assume by your post's title and ill-informed comments that you do not understand much about The Villages community. The recreation amenities are not run or controlled by the developer but by an independent management and governmental body run principally by elected residents. There is a significant difference between the community/government "The Villages" and the developer "The Villages of Lake Sumter, Inc. or The Villages Holding Company" or any of the other dozens of companies they own.

The closures were done based on CDC, state, and county health official recommendations and directions. The goal has been to keep as much of the activities and lifestyle facilities as possible open during this period based on the guidance from these bodies, it has not been driven by money. If money was the issue then most of the last year would have been a complete shutdown as it has cost the district government significantly more to keep things open and cleaned and recleaned and recleaned again than it would have to just lock the doors.

Get a vaccine and get on with life. You are already dead if you live in fear

I don’t like your sense of humor!

As a side note, I have not seen one question as to where to get the vaccination in many months, and nobody left here that really wants it or needs it anymore. I suspect in late September when the third booster shot is going to be available everyone will be getting it also that wants it. Those that are not vaccinated will have a much higher chance of course of catching it from other people not vaccinated along with a few breakthrough cases but Life Will go on for most of us. Unfortunately in the last few weeks I have heard about several friends children in their late twenties early thirties dying and I don't know whether they were vaccinated or not cuz I don't have the heart to ask or inquire but I do know they came back crying from trips.

Maybe they (who ever they are ) learned that outdoor activity if precautions are take don’t spread the virus? Maybe it’s the high percentage of vaccinated villagers?

Bottom line it’s you’re responsible to protect yourself. If you think rec centers or any activity in villages puts you at risk, don’t go.

Exactly. Plus the govt restrictions have changed. Has nothing to do with money

thank you for your posts. I have learned a lot by reading them, and watching your videos.
You present facts as facts, and opinions as opinions.

On this matter I have few facts, but I do have an opinion. We should remember that back in February-March-April of 2020 we knew less than we do now about COVID. It was a freaky time, and trying to discern fact from fiction from the bombardment of sensationalized and politicized "news" was impossible. It has been bad, but thankfully, for most of us, not as bad as we were told it could be.
I can't blame anyone for reacting the way they did then, and changing their approach as time has taught us a few things about this pandemic.

But now that the situation is worst in Florida Rec Centers and Pickle Ball Courts still remain open.
Just wondering the motive and I come to this conclusion, IMHO
$ Its Greed $, "the Villages" management wants Snowbirds to return to the Villages.

Cases, cases, cases! What test are they using? The PCR test that the almighty CDC says in not reliable?! And will stop using in December ? What cycle are they testing at?
Florida’s economy is based on tourism . Why should TV be any different?

Love to early to blame snowbirds!😎
Same pattern as last summer. South gets cases, north doesn't . Fall comes and it switches. Has to do with inside activities. Cases don’t mean death, they mean, maybe a cold. The sheep will stay home. Yes people can get very sick and even die. You can also die crossing the street or riding in a car.

If you haven’t had COVID yet get vaccine or check to see if you have antibodies- why are they still telling everyone to get vaccine when if you already had COVID your not going to get it again
