It’s all about politics. It got political real fast. In the beginning they told you to wash your hands and don’t touch your face. People are acting paranoid and crazy. Use some common sense. If you believe that you are at high risk or just prefer to just stay home then do it!

Don't you people get it ????
The tables need to be 6 feet apart so that the TABLES don't catch anything.
It's not about us.

People won't comply when idiots try to control them.
There is a distinct difference between recommendations, rules and laws.
Laws are enforceable. The others, not.

Too many people don't believe that teeny tiny varmints can kill you. Some won't buy it unless they can swat it with a fly swatter...………..

So 30,000,000 people should go with out food or shelter because 1% of the population might get sick and some will die.
They call this socialism.

Gator's violated that decision.

That's why.
Unless such authority was included in their lease, Gator's has a viable lawsuit against the Developer.

The Villages has NOT disallowed outdoor entertainment. They told 1 restaurant to stop. They have allowed it to continue at other places.

Exactly. Good post
My point was to try and point out the hypocrisy and stupidity of many of the social distancing guidelines this example was just one. I could come up with probably 25 if I thought about it. One that comes to mind is you have plexiglass between you and the cashier at Publix, while that person is touching every single thing that you’re taking home with you? I wish people would plug their brains in and just think?

Exactly. When you rent or lease a space as long as you are paying you have all the rights of ownership. Your landlord cannot dictate to you how you run your business. I doubt seriously there’s any language in the lease that says we can control whether you can have music or not? There are a lot of examples of administrators in this country overstepping their legal authority and violating citizens constitutional rights.

Default Amusing

Reading these posts is like watching TV and continually switching between MSNBC and Fox News. Quite amusing.

What is shocking is that if you go to the witch museum and see what actually happened there it is horrendous. Then you exit the museum into the gift shop and see all of these cute little witch items.

let's face it the "rules" are defined at such a high level that they are absolutely open to everyone's own interpretation on how to implement...businesses that do the exact same thing are not consistent (e.g. Winn Dixie at LSL - the aisles are two way....Publix at Lake Deaton has implemented one-way aisles)

add to that that every restaurant has a different floor plan, some have bars, some don't, some traditionally had live music and want it, some didn't and bingo a recipe for "Heniz 57 variety"

somebody dropped a dime on this restaurant and someone with authority was forced to act (and let's not immediately throw the Morse family under the bus...it could very well have been the manager or the owner that pulled the plug on the music because they didn't want any public backlash)

who? why?.... a lot of people are feeling self-righteous, a lot of folks are playing it safe, and a lot of folks are acting like nothing has changed and things are back to normal

interesting times that we are in

somehow it doesn't feel like we're living in 'the friendliest town' anymore...but I'm not sure any place would feel that way right now
