Now I know what is wrong with all the golf balls I've been trying to hit the last couple of days!!

The Rohan info is on the online news site front and center. Very easy to find.

Any wonder why it’s starting to spread again? Our recklessness made a NY paper.

No matter how trivial it is, "WEARING MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING SAVE LIVES," and we are all bound to the health, safety, and welfare of ALL Americans. Now is the time to stand up and be counted, and not let these NUT jobs dictate our health and safety by them not wearing masks and social distancing!!!

It's like dancing, it takes two to be safe. If everyone doesn't wear a mask, one infected
individual can infect many!

I’m just going by what I read on Next Door Neighbor. Have nothing to confirm that.

Announcement in TV paper, are you serious! Are you a Senior Member of TOTV? I don't need to say more. Ask anybody why the TV newspaper didn't print it!

LOL! people will do what they believe, as we all have different concepts of risk and levels of risk tolerance. To think that a very infectious airborne virus for which there is questionable human protection, is going to be stopped by information and voluntary adoption of protective gear, is a little bit too hopeful. CoachK, my wife, counts the dead and reviews them on a daily basis for proper systemic reporting and regulatory reporting. After telling one person while golfing, the person commented that "so it isn't a hoax then." This response is from a low information person. I witnessed another person who got very offended when a long time friend wore a mask in her presence. Again, mis placed attribution and risk assessment instead of assigning personal responsibility for the choice. People who don't wear masks over their noses, from which most of the air is exhaled indoors, is low information or darwin poor risk assessor.

We are on our second week here, getting warranty work done, and making a few improvements. We are leaving sooner to go back to a state with more healthcare availability in case we make a mistake in our risk assessment. In case we do get the virus, we want sufficient health care availability to avoid the risk of having an insufficient health care system, which may mean NO healthcare at all.

Risk comes in many forms, not all the same, some directly related, some not directly related. Good luck to everyone, low or high information, because the virus does not discriminate. But just remember a few statistics:

As the virus spreads, the median and average age of the infected will approach the median and average age of the surrounding population. The fact that the most vulnerable got hit first was a natural easy target for the virus. The death rate from the virus is actually higher than reported, because deaths from virus induced blood clot related heart attacks and strokes may not be properly attributed because of incomplete information, and traditional reporting. People have gone to hospitals, tested positive, showed no signs of distress and subsequently found dead at home. A hospital may not report that death as virus related as it was not at the hospital, and up to the medical examiner to assign a cause of death. So the stats are better than rumors, but don't be mislead that the stats are perfect. You can still end up dead with stats on your side for survival, you just misjudged your own personal risk.

good luck all

I have not received a return call yet.

Thanks for the post. I love it when I read an insightful post, especially one that doesn’t criticize others. Unfortunately I’m sure you’ll get unnecessary pushback. I especially like the references to risk. As a former DUI instructor I constantly warned about the dangers associated with making high risk choices. Unfortunately not everyone listens. And so it goes with the high and low risk choices people are making today. Safe travels.

Wow!
Where can I go to attend a course that teaches me how to drive better when I am drunk?
After about 8 pints my driving is a bit dodgy

The Daily Sun or the Villages Admin would be the last place you would ever expect to get that honest type of information from. The Daily Sun is a paper from an alternate universe. Admin sells houses.

Thanks Leadbone. Just elementary common sense.

Well, I just read that the governor is banning the sale of alcohol at all bars in the state! I'm not sure how that will work out, or, if these are private clubs and not considered

[delima2000]

Every time I drive by americanos there are people bellied up to the bar sitting shoulder to shoulder and I don’t think the outside tables are spaced apart too..please be careful out there.

I have a very simple way of letting it be known that you require to be serviced by a person also wearing a mask. It is so simple. Raise your voice stand away from the counter give your name your tee time and say I'm here to pay but will only give my credit card and sign when a representative on the other side of the counter is following the CDC recommendations with social distancing and wearing a face mask. Stand there and keep repeating this until the correct action is taken.
