No stores, no gas stations, no restaurants, no MD offices, no financial institutions, no pharmacy, no nothing...be thankful that we are not of the same mindset as so many here...

People that HAVE to work outside of their homes deserve to have better testing and clothing than they do at present. The DPA was never initiated (blame that). That held back testing and put frontline workers out there in hospitals and other situations without proper equipment and at risk of CV and possible death. Yes, it IS a PROBLEM! Good to point that out. And good luck.

I believe men have a right to give birth. We just have to figure out how. Why would you deprive them of this wonderful opportunity?

I like the idea of choosing your skin color I’m not sure I would have chosen “white” for myself at all.

And I like SiFi. During DaVinci’s time the idea of flying was SiFi.

As far as masks go, why not just put one on when you leave your house? Just like the way you put on any other attire.

If he goes into the stall with the door he can take his mask off).

And if someone objects, they can call the police. If the police come they can order you to either put the mask on, or leave the premises. If you refuse - then you get arrested for trespassing. Remember all public places of business reserve the right to refuse service to anyone - as long as they don't violate civil rights. And you don't have the constitutional right to not wear a mask. It's just not in that document.

The constitution also doesn’t give the government the right to force us to wear a mask. If you really understood the constitution you would realize it states what the government has the power to do and all other powers reside with the people. Get your facts right. This is why the federal government cannot order people to wear masks.

Is that 89 deaths for Sumter County? Or 89 deaths for The Villages?

[sail33or]

For those advocating for mandate to wear masks:

EXACTLY WHAT DEATH RATE or DAILY POSITIVES will be acceptable for YOU to stop wearing masks and give us your permission????

Note: any vaccine is only 90% effective and I promise there will be at least 20 - 40 % of folks that will NOT get vaccinated.

So there will ALWAYS be some deaths and infections forever just LIKE THE FLU. BUT WHAT IS YOUR NUMBER SO WE CAN END THIS.

There is a strong correlation between Vitamin D and Covid severity. Why isn't the government suggesting we all take a supplement? The UK is about to start delivering it to at risk people, although not nearly enough, but it's something.

Here's a chart that is very interesting.

Hmm, I wonder what UVB stimulates in the body....Oh, right. Vitamin D.

If, big IF, the vaccine works it will be lucky to be available to ordinary TV Bozos by DEC 2021. Then only 50% of the bozos will even get it - so we are right back to HERE - where we need to wear our masks and stay away from people, especially inside. The vaccine needs 2 doses and to be transported at negative 100 degrees F. It is people that want to propagandize you that are giving you FALSE HOPE - because it suits THEIR purposes. They are in no way concerned about you in the least. You don't exist to them! Just think for yourself.

If that were true why all the pop up testing sites? They are keeping the reality from here so the money will continue to roll in. After all, old people dying does not affect developers bottom line. The truth can.

I don’t make decisions based on what communists have to say.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Of the 89 deaths attributed to Covid in Sumter County, how many would have died anyway without the Covid Pandemic. I personally know a 42 year old person that died in a tragic motorcycle accident. The death certificate stated the cause of death was Covid related. I, for one, do not trust the numbers. That being said I don't leave my house without a mask.

Having a right to do something is exactly what some on here are attempting to take away.
Being able to produce a child is a female thing, for a reason I'm sure. Maybe you think it is funny? Sorry, but I do not know of very many men that would choose to bear a child, even if possible.
And yes, I also realize that you are just being facetious. But, in reality one should face the truth and not attempt to live in a SyFy imagination.

Yes, always go to the most experienced medical advice before passing "laws" on others. Personally I CHOOSE to wear a mask when out shopping and dining; some neighbors do not. That is their personal choice. I certainly do not feel they are selfish or any of the other vile names people here in the V's call anyone who chooses not to wear a mask. I for one am really tired of the trashing of people that goes on here daily, saw an incident in Publix just three days ago, it was an ugly moment for such a "friendly" hometown. No RESPECT for your neighbors because you wear a mask and they don't ? NO, there is no respect for others because "others" choose to make them villains and outcasts because of their own personal irrational fears.

We need a THUMBS DOWN button! Do not agree with any part of this post.

Thank you for initiating this conversation...let's hope it insights the courage that is needed to save some lives.

You have the right to live your life but you don’t have the right to take mine. WEAR a MASK!

Your personal safety is not an element or function of the Gov. Maybe in a communist future America will get there. USSA?
