I don't expect chairs to be sanitized every time someone leaves. Just don't touch your face.

As an aside............ I go to the Planet Fitness Gym in Leesburg because the fitness centers in TV are now closed. Everyone is responsible to wipe down the equipment when they are done. I wipe down all the touch points but not the seats or the backs of the equipment. It does not make much sense to expect every single square inch of the equipment to be sanitized after every use. Same with lounge chairs at the pool.

Just don't touch your face.

It's almost hard to believe that if someone writes that they had some couples over to play cards because their dance club, or state club is no longer meeting, then someone they don't even know (probably ?) gets on here and says "YOU are the kind of people we don't need here !" Wow !

Some people feel they need to tell others how to live their lives.

Having said that we have seen to many people ignore social distancing putting others at risk. Will say something politely when we are on line and person behind us is too close but other than that mind my own business.

You sure don't see attendants taking in person test samples every two hours (as well as the computerized auto monitoring systems that do sometimes fail to give accurate readings and additions of the proper chemical balances) like you do at resorts, hotels, public swimming pools, and cruise ships ! Always wondered why we don't see these in person tests like at other places ? I am used to it now, but was shocked years ago that showers were only a "suggestion", and many people make no attempt to shower before getting into the water. That was very strange as I never lived where it was not mandatory, but apparently it is not a health risk here ?
It done in late evening after sun going down in all pools except three that’s allowed to be open after sun down.
