Wow! That is one long list of Covid monoclonal treatment centers! Every one I saw was a hospital, infusion center or other type of medical office. The Villages has the distinction of having the only one in a movie theater in a town square.

Isn’t that wonderful? If any Villagers are stricken with covid, treatment is right at the doorstep. That is to be celebrated and it’s important to remember, we are all moving around covid carriers from time to time everywhere.

You’re probably correct and post-COVID is nothing to be proud of. I’ve followed this site since before we decided to buy in TV. I have a much different opinion of some now versus when I first started to follow. Oh well, sometimes true character shows through in times of fear and panic.

Well, one does not need to have initials behind his name to use common sense. So, what I do know from living 70+ years is, fear causes stress, and stress weakens the immune system. In this instance the saying "You attract what you fear" applies. So, I think those morgue freezer trucks will be coming to a hospital and state much closed to Y...O...U... than to me.

Kudos, that was a very clever reply post. Impressive! I agree that fear causes stress and stress causes decreased immunity. An OCASSIONAL fear would NOT decrease immunity, but constant stress would. Humans and other animals are known to engage in BOTH survival tactics of flight or fight. Fear can heighten the senses so that we are better able to make that decision - do I run or do I fight? So, the DEGREE of fear and the OBSERVATION of it are key issues in any situation.

I answered a post about the DEGREE of contagion of the Delta variant. That is like a question about DEGREE of FEAR or rational FEAR that one should have concerning the Delta variant. I knew that Delta was more contagious than the prior variants, but I could NOT quantify that degree or degree of FEAR. I did NOT believe that there is NO fear for Delta (rational fear). So, I used the example of freezer trucks to illustrate a high degree of seriousness or rational fear that should be accorded to something as deadly as the Delta variant. it is up to each individual to handle that seriousness in their own way. Each individual needs to decide how much that freezer truck knowledge stresses them. To solve a problem first you have to ACKNOWLEDGE that a problem exists. Good luck!

News flash: you will have no more chance of catching covid at the village square in Brownwood then you would shopping at Publix or Walmart. Better avoid them also..

I dont agree with the chances...I believe it's more...just by the numbers. Any given square, at anytime...odds are probably all the same....but if all the sickly are coming to get their shot, whatever it is, now you have more people in that one square and a bigger % of them are sick. I would say your odds increase.

Those of you who think they will go shopping or dining on the square think so because that is what YOU would do.

Not me and that is for sure. We have been told all along that if we test positive for Covid we are to quarantine. That is most certainly what any responsible adult would do.

I'm opposed to the Brownwood location for reasons already stated by several people on this thread. Having said that, it would certainly be silly to drive all the way to Orlando for a treatment that is available right here in The Villages. Just move it from the center of a town square but certainly not as far away as Orlando. There must be other locations that would be centrally located in The Villages.

I have even read them saying "I hope they die." They also want the unvaccinated to pay for everyone else's health care. Some on here are soooo charitable. And I should have added soooo convincing and must have surely caused many to log off and rush to be vaccinated. Apparently, they do not seem to understand several points that others (not me) have made regarding this matter:
Having a treatment for covid is a good thing
Having a treatment for covid in a close location is a good thing
Being infected with covid does NOT always mean that person was not vaccinated
Some folks cannot be vaccinated.
Walking past an infected person does not mean that you are certain to become infected.
AND,
Not all "other" persons are less intelligent or lacking in common sense than what some claim to have.
Obviously, those that are being treated will likely head home after the process. A few may even stop at the doughnut shop for a coffee and doughnut on their way home. If you have your vaccination and if either one of you are wearing a mask, then the chances are nil that you will become infected. If you fear infection, then don't go to the square. There are plenty of other places where you can obtain a fat pill and coffee.

I consider the news of this treatment in the Villages to be fantastic and it is a shame that some elitists find the need to criticize.

I never, ever read or thought someone was implying, on this post that if someone is not vaccinated they should die???? In fact, I think most people realize that currently, vax or not does not determine if you get the virus, just its severity.
I dont think if that a person is "about" town with all these sick people and they themselves are vaxed and masked, that it's enough-as you stated...hence all these vaxed ones getting sick.
As far as insurance goes, absolutely...if you are not compromised and still do not vax AND get sick and need hospitalization...yes, you should pay that bill....not other's bill, just your own, probably $100,000 bill.....kind of similar to what Delta airline is doing.

I think in time the volunteer nonvaxers will get excluded from almost all social interaction, lose their jobs and acquaintances bc its just too risky for the rest of us.

Sarcasm Sheldon, meaning those who are opposed please drive as far away as possible. Leave the close option to others.

Sarcasm…..If you read the entire post, unless you have sheltered in place for 1.5 years you have been exposed more times than you can count, and not have a clue. I get why Golfing eagles get so frustrated. I am in place with less than 31% vaccinated, exposed 50 plus hours a week, yet fear is not what I wake to.

My nightmare right now is I need a new phone, but chips are not in the supply chain. Walking in Brownwood is in the bottom 1% for me.
