Because Gator's is not public property.
The Villages owns the property that Gator's rents from them.
The Villages decides what can and cannot be done on its property.
The Villages has decided that public outdoor entertainment is not allowed yet.
Gator's violated that decision.

That's why.

Exactly. And several people at one table is allowed if from the same family. And as earlier, if you dont like the setup, stay home!

Thank you for your response. Never seen such childish behavior, except from children.

This is confusing to me too. We were in Beef O'Brady's today for lunch. They have tables 6 feet apart but there are tables of 8 set up for customers. This is inside, no masks and 4 people sitting shoulder to shoulder and 4 people sitting across the table sitting shoulder to shoulder. Where is the social distancing to that?

Who is mandating these guidelines? Are they not thinking this through? If tables of 8 inside sitting so close with no masks are within the guidelines, then why even bother to request social distancing at all? Oh....and all the employees are wearing masks but that does no good if there is an asymptomatic patron sitting among seven others in close proximity. Where is the logic in this?

Yesterday I posted about the music being stopped at Gators because killjoys complained that we irresponsible people were not social distancing as we should be? I felt The Villages was out of line in stopping that as it makes no sense!
So, I have the following question for all the social distancing geniuses and the villages?
(“Why is it OK for 2 to 5 people to be sitting close while sharing tables as long as those tables are 6 feet apart, but if those same 2 to 5 people were sitting in folding chairs listening to music within the same distance of each other, that would be violating the social distancing guidelines”)
Take your time with your answer, I’ll wait...

Just my opinion, but people of different households should not be sitting at the same table. Otherwise I agree, no different than your other scenario. But just because any given situation seems to violate the guideline does not intone that all other situations that violate should be then be OK.

Played golf at Belle Glade this afternoon and finished up about 7:00. Lots of people outside eating with tables spaced. However, there was live music and a singer on the outdoor patio and many people were up dancing and partying just like old times.
No social distancing happening on that dance floor. People might say well just don’t go there or why do you care about what they are doing.
I guess because if they are not social distancing and unknowingly spreading the virus and I end up next to them in the grocery store or at an appointment in an office type situation that’s unavoidable then that’s when their behavior affects the rest of us who are trying to follow the guidelines for staying safe by distancing.
If they were just affecting themselves I say Party On and have at it with each other!
Sadly this is not the case with this virus.
