Did I not see live music advertised in the Daily Sun at Ednas Yesterday? Villages property?

please do not be fooled by 6 ft its just a guideline that has a large margin of error . The way I see it is pick your side. Side one are educated thoughtful people that care about the world and others . They are willing to sacrifice and give up some pleasures for the betterment of the human race. Then we have the others. Selfish ,foolish ,stubborn and no disregard for others . They are the ones who do not wear masks and cant understand why after a life time of listening to live music ,eating at restaurants and doing what ever they would rather help spread a virus then make sacrifices.

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...

Every once in awhile a Thread or Post really gets to me and this is one of them. People risked their lives to save people who got sick from this Devilish Virus. Is it really that important that a question like this be asked at all? It's what the people in charge want. Why not take your question to them then let us know what you find out. Nobody on this Forum turned off the music or snuffed the party.

I don't question you bringing up the subject but take it easy with your tone!

Take your time with your answer? You've gotta be kidding! Most posts that start like that bring no fruit. They are NOTHING but confrontational. Who do you think you are talking to? We are adults trying to prolong our lives and do mostly smart things. Why not join us?

Well I am thinking everywhere is different. We will all see when and if the virus ramps up how people feel when they know that the social distancing they did was not sufficient. Also if it is not being policed there is nothing any of us can do. Our world has changed and maybe we need to accept it.

Quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people.
Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.
NEVER in our history have we restricted the movement of healthy people. Open you eyes & think for yourself, & do some research into who is in favor of the lockdown instead of listening to people who have something to gain from this.

I question why you ask your question on TOTV'S when nobody here has the Juice to anything about your concern. Why not aim your question at the higher-ups who pulled the plug on your music?

I recommend you don't start your conversation with them by telling them to take their time with the answer they may or may not have. Talking down to others on this Forum is generally not accepted very well.

Let us know how you make out and get the names of the people you contact.

I don’t like the fact that my chance of survival is somehow linked to socially irresponsible people displaying a lack of common sense.

What a joke that guideline is, especially for here in The Villages. I would bet money those tables for eight set up in the middle of Beef O'Grady's were not going to be occupied by family members all living in the same house hold. Social distancing? Hardly.

but if you are isolating inside all this time, my wearing or not wearing a mask should'nt affect you, right? you will be nowhere near me

That is for sure. I've been in the first row of a theater and can see the droplets flying across the stage. It is expected especially when watching Nathan Lane and Mathew Broderick perform together. Spit droplets everywhere!

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?

The plexiglass is there to protect the employee, not us. As for the groceries that I bring home.....who knows how many people touch every item in a grocery store? Lots, I'm sure, even shoppers who seem to want to touch lots of things then put them back on the shelves. What I do is sanitize every single item that comes into my house with the exception of items packaged in cardboard boxes. Items that are packaged in cardboard boxes are set aside in a holding area in my laundry room for at least 3 days before I put them away. It is a royal PIA to have to do this but it is the safe way to go.

The reason that we are no longer interested in moving here anymore after 11 years of visiting.

FAR too many “busy bodies” who just can’t mind their own damn business!!!

OR......didn't do at all.

This has been said so many times by the media, the Coronavirus task force and here on TOTV.........there are asymptomatic people who are shedding virus and are infecting others and they had no idea they were infecting others. These asymptomatic folks have no idea they carry the virus. THIS is the reason "healthy" people had to adhere to shelter in place guidelines AKA quarantine. Unless tested every day, no one knows if they carry the virus or not if they do not have any symptoms.

I have read that as many as 50% of people who have been tested do not have symptoms. There is not enough testing or testing that is accurate enough to make it safe enough to drop all restrictions. We will be socializing at a distance for quite some time. Like the way I put a spin on that obnoxious term?
