I am wearing a golf glove on my left hand. My right hand holds paddle. Therefore, I am not touching ball or latch on gate. We keep 6 feet apart, and do not touch each other.

They offer a number of benefits over a regular chlorine pool. Saltwater swimming pools draw on dissolved salt in the water to generate chlorine. The salt cell or generator utilizes a process called electrolysis to break down or separate the salt also known as sodium chloride or NaCl in the water.

So yes they are chlorine pools.

Pools closed indefinitely? The sign on the pool that I read said till March 31st.

Pools were closed (according to the newspaper) because people were breaking the 10 person gathering rule. The picture in the paper looked like it had at least 7 small children in the family pool. I’m sure we all agree that grandchildren are wonderful, but inviting them to a senior neighborhood when we are dealing with a pandemic is a little scary.

I think that should concern you more than the Pickleball players

It is my understanding that they are using their own equipment. I, personally have not seen “lines” of folks for the courts. In fact, I have seen more close contact in the grocery stores than on the courts.

Confused...then why must we stay 6 feet away from everyone? Are you a doctor?

Please explain why Pickle Ball courts are still open. Large groups of people gathered around talking waiting for a court. Not to mention the players handling a sweating ball being handled by multiple players.

The Villages should be consistent and close CONTACT SPORTS. There is no contact in the adult pools.
Who makes up these rules?
I contacted Richard Baier and John Rohan over a week ago about this precise observation; they never responded. Yesterday (March 27) I casually went be two centers' pickleball courts and saw way more than 10 congregate, a clear violation of CDC rules. And as if to add salt to the wound, PoliticoFlorida reported as of last night at 6:30pm by writer Arek Sarkissian that coronavirus is now spreading in The Villages by community spread or close contact with others (according to the Florida Dept. of Health in Sumter County) with at least five residents having contracted the virus! 29 county residents have also contracted the virus; 24 tested positive in Lake County; 8 in Marion County. The reporter also wrote that TV is also receiving a 250-bed mobile hospital from the Fla. Div. of Emergency Services. It seems Village officials must be following Trump's lead by being "late to the party", and a deadly one at that. All courts need to be closed down for the health and safety of ALL Villagers, not just those that play the game---and I play it 2-3x/week.

For those that are still not following the CDC’s recommendations for social distancing. You should have a tattoo put on the bottom of you foot. “ I AM AN _______ DON’T WASTE A VENTILATOR ON ME”

This is not an aerosol virus; that is, one that travels through the air by itself. It is contained in droplets of saliva and possibly other bodily fluids. Read this for more info:
