I'll respect your choice. But you do realize that that very same person you are avoiding at the square might be next to you in line at your bank, grocery, or pharmacy. Might be buying a greens fee right behind you. Might brush up against you on a sidewalk.

As far a the squares go, outdoor transmission from a brief encounter is almost zero.

And to the person who wonders how you can treat 300/day from 539 cases in a week, that is their maximum capacity---I doubt they are even near that. But apparently all you need to do is CLAIM exposure and they'll treat you.

And there’s a difference of Covid or possible Covid patients entering a hospital, clinic, or many other locations for testing or treatment?? I’ve had Covid and regularly test my antibodies. They are still sky high 8 months later. Everyone should be cautious no matter what type of facility they go to. As someone else wrote, park snd go directly into the facility and directly back to your car. Some people due to medical reasons cannot get the vaccine or know family that had horrific reactions. Now there’s so many hospitalized that have been vaccinated too. It’s difficult to know what’s best but it’s good to have more options to fight it once sick, with and without the vax.

Hardly OUTRAGEOUS.

Couldnt have said it better!

I wouldn't believe a word that person posts.

50% of the workforce not only quits, but RELOCATES??????

That would be more impressive than the waves of immigration from Europe from 1840-1920. It would be more impressive than the mass migrations on the Serengeti.
It simply is not plausible.

Natural infection may offer more immunity than vaccination or maybe not. The data is presented both ways so who really knows which "method" of immunity is better. I guess it depends on the source you believe.

One thing I do know and most folks who are really listening, is immunity by vacination is far safer than playing Russian Roulette with your health by contracting Covid. "Are you feelin' lucky punk?"

Agree.

But just a word of caution---don't get too cavalier because of "antibodies" There are many COVID antibodies and we still don't know which one(s) confer immunity. They only test for one, and if it's not it........

I have no problem with having a treatment center for covid patients. Just not in a town square. Also, Barnstorm is the best theater we have and was looking forward to its reopening.

I've read all the posts in this thread and there is not one person who has stated they want to deny life saving treatments for their fellow citizens. The concern is the LOCATION of these treatments. Move the treatment facility to a location that is not in the middle of a town square but of course, offer the treatments. That is what I have absorbed from this discussion and all the folks who have taken part.

This is what I am wondering about. With the original Covid strain, we were told transmission outdoors is pretty much non existent. That was the reason I never wore a mask outdoors and that was from the very beginning of this pandemic. I have not heard about how readily the Delta variant is transmitted outdoors or is it the same as the original strain: non existent? I still keep my distance from others, indoors and outdoors.

[NotGolfer]

Just had the thought since we have all the complaining. IF nothing had been done with this treatment in this area I wonder if people would be asking "why aren't they doing it here?" It seems no matter what stance one is on with this thing people aren't going to be happy.

I know you are right. That was just some bunk, wasn't it? LOL.

What’s your source on that? We have about 150,000 people here. Do you know many have been hospitalized or died from Covid?

I am glad to see it. Impressed actually.

Doubt it since amenity fees do not pay the entertainment on the square. If they did it wouldn’t be open to the public.

[Luggage]

I would have to say that this is rather silly opinion. The fact that we have a local convenient location I think overrides the fact that you are so worried about infection. Now that you know there are people that are infected going there, simply don't go there. Or would you rather have to drive one hour to Gainesville?
