It can handle 300 patients a day! It is insane to think that 300 patients a day that are at high risk for Covid 19 will be wondering around a Square which is the center of business's in Brownwood. You have to be a part of the insanity to entertain Brownwood as a source of relaxation and shopping or sitting around about 500 feet or so having a doughnut and coffee. During the high vaccination period they were given in a very large field at the Brownwood Community Center. This removed the risk of being in a high density of those who have been exposed to the virus. Why in the name of God would you move this to such a high risk location. It just does not make sense! :ohdear:

Sorry to disagree. I think it is absolutely wonderful that if one was to catch Covid in TV there is a close by treatment place for it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Praise the Lord! Lalalalala

Please go to another square if you are concerned about catching the virus.

Too much handwringing over nothing

Site your source for this. Otherwise it is just a libelous statment. Fake News?

I give up since I can't waste my time discussing this since the nay sayers are going to have a field day for their own self interest. Think about going to a movie later on in a facility that was the treatment center for the spreadable and serious Avoid-19 Virus,etc. :ohdear:

I remember posts on this forum complaining about all the people who were at the restaurants setting at the bar with no masks. They were going to spread the virus causing mass deaths from Covid infection. I haven't seen any data to back up this claim. The death/hospitalization rate has been quite low for TV. Seems like some have to spread baseless paranoia and hysteria.

You think these people might do their shopping, eating and drinking anyway even if there was no treatment going on?

Most of us Villagers have had two shots now. My guess is eight out of ten of us. I think that we take this pandemic seriously. I think our hospitalization may not be as bad because so many of us are immunized. Our doctor here said five days ago that 38 of his patients were in the hospitals with Covid.

I think that people here are a cut above when it comes to using their common sense about these sorts of things. I am blessed with many, many, many friends here who are retired medical people.

I understand we had HIGH hospitalization and deaths in TV - just won't see or hear about it - wouldn't help sell houses

But this new treatment center will help sell houses… to seniors.

Now why and how would that happen? Do you really know the Morse family so well that you can make that statement? Our village is right across the street from where Mark Morse lives and we have lived in The Villages in two homes and the only time I have ever seen any of the Morse family is at the State of the Village night, (twice).

I did notice the things they did and continue to do to keep things nice. Maybe it is to sell houses, but that is their business. They don't have to finagle with the truth here. Their houses are selling so fast and for so much that they don't need to lie to anyone.

There are hardly ANY houses for sale on their site because they are being grabbed up as soon as they are posted. They don't need to lie about the pandemic that is affecting us, our country and the entire world.

PLEASE.

Naw, I think I got the "tone" exactly. Derision for anyone that does not agree, shown by bigoted elitism as if the poster is superior because they made a choice that they feel everyone else should make based upon their superior intellect.
My daughter is NOT a "redneck" and does not speak like the example given. She has had Covid and was told by her doctor NOT to get the vaccination at that time. She then caught a second case of Covid which she shrugged off. Before coming to visit recently, she (along with all of her family) were tested negative before traveling to see us. All through the pandemic she has been working full-time and has NOT received any Covid stimulus, even taking a hit on a rental property she has where the tenants did not pay rent for four months or more. So, if I take a bit of offense at some of the ignorant and elitist posts, it's because I find that making fun of someone or some group that you do not agree with does NOT convince, but only alienates.
Telling someone that their choice is stupid does not convince. Telling someone that the reason they feel an action is the appropriate thing to do is making someone feel that the choice is a smart choice.

I drove past after golf today around 11am.

The entrance for the treatments is not the one close to the square. The entrance being used is near the parking lot and just across the street from Villages Golf Cars.

No crowds, no lines.

Also in the parking lot near MMP for the bridge are staffed tents - WVLG and The Villages.

Sorry did not pass the front entrance near Dunkin' Donuts.

Hot spots where COVID vaccination lags push experimental antibody treatment | Modern Healthcare

Vaccine is preventative, been given to millions with very few side effects, is free, but the medically uneducated believe they know better, until they actually get the virus, then turn into believers, or almost all of them, and then they will go with any experimental drug because they miscalculated their own personal risk.

how many of them remember the relief when the polio vaccine was announced?

narcissism at its best about invincibility and assuming medical knowledge more than a medical professional. . . .

A friend and his family just came back from Iceland, visiting new volcanoes, etc. There are signs that say "We will not save you if you go off the path! you are on your own." in the US, with such a high regard for life, we are the leader in saving lives, even ones who should not reproduce. . . and will spare no expense in saving everyone. . .

and you wonder why healthcare costs are so expensive, on top of reduced reimbursements, and liability insurance. .

Amazing
 
It is amazing how many respondents have found excuses to justify planting a major and serious Virus treatment in the center of an active area and in a building that is where they will treat a total of 300 patients a day. We even have some that try to justify it as the
one being treated would not move about the area at the stores and restaurants? Of course there is still the point they have not as yet ruled out the virus spreading in the air thus one of the reasons for the push for masks. Those who think this is OK and work to find reasons to believe this is just business as usual and disregard any concern about placing a serious medical facility in the center of an open population should visit the ICU at the hospital to get an idea of what their future looks like.:ohdear:

And where did you get this understanding? Unless it is a reliable source it's just fake news. There are other sources for the news and the evil developer doesn't control them. If it was that bad someone would be reporting on it.
