The governor has police monitoring interstates for potential incoming "spreaders" and just advised South FL to remains self-isolated until mid-May

Just did another cruise thru LSL, still a bunch of people violating social distancing guidelines--and noticed two cars with NY tags--ya think they're on vacation ?

I AGREE, DONT IMPOSE YOUR FEELING REGARDING THIS VIRUS ON ME. I THINK ITS ALSO OVER THE TOP. I can die just as easily driving down Buena Vista in a car accident.

Perhaps they were family. I don't "distance" myself from my spouse. Let's not get hysterical.

So, what are the "police" going to do, stop anyone that does not have a Florida tag? If so, half the Villagers will get stopped. There is NO lawful quarantine active and there has been no declaration of Martial Law.

Governor DeSantis just ordered a cruise ship with dying and dead people not to dock in Florida.

True, but
 

Problem with your reasoning is you can also unknowingly cause other innocent people to die if you pass the virus on.

What is wrong with those people. Call security if you see other parties. I don't care if they get sick. I worry about the innocent bystanders who comes in contact with the virus they are carrying. How many innocent people are getting this because of selfish ignorant people?

Just as you could kill other innocent people if your accident causes your car to veer off onto the MMP?

😱 sure hope you two aren’t touching 🤦🏻*♀️ Just ribbing you - trying time add a bit of humor 😊

Please give us your name, home address, and your cell phone coordinates so we can track you and ensure that none of us are within 6 feet of you, or touch any surface you have touched, during this period of "mah freedums."

Thanks.

I find it interesting that a lot of the posters here advocating "Stay Home", are spending a fair amount of time driving around, documenting other people's transgressions, including taking photos.

They're not advocating "stay home." They're advocating "stop grouping up" and "maintain a social distance with people who don't live with you."

Driving around is not grouping up, and it does maintain a social distance. Standing on the sidelines while observing people across a country club side-yard is not grouping up, and it does maintain a social distance.

Taking photos does not require grouping up, and cameras have zoom features so it's very easy to maintain a social distance while taking photographs.

Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y ?????

It's sort of like Hollywood celebrities flying around the world in private jets to lecture others to reduce their carbon footprint.

On the other hand, they might just be driving around to find a store with TP so they can add to their supply of 500 rolls.

New basher in town.

in the immortal words of Forest Gump "Stupid is what stupid does"....or in the cowboy vernacular "ya can lead a horse to water, but you can't make 'em drink"...

some folks like to push the envelope...not a big risk usually...but it is when it comes to covid-19...and selfish behavior is a risk to all of us

there seems to be this 'damn the torpedo's, full speed ahead' mentality for a lot of folks....I have my rights, you can't tell me what to do....yup, ya do have your rights, and while you're at it chose the funeral home ya wanna use too...



your "oops, sorry" is worthless if you are part of the problems spreading this virus

The same reason you can't allow people to drink and drive, or a building having a maximum capacity due to fire codes. BECAUSE YOU ARE PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK!!! All it takes is just one person at that party to spread it to one or more persons from that party, who then the next day goes to the supermarket, etc. and gives it to 10 more people and so on.....

And share your virus with the first responders and hospital staff that have to take care of your dead body. This isnt about you. Its about everyone

If you are in your car glancing at stupidity, you are social distancing, by @ least 30'--when it hits the fan in The Villages in the next two weeks--you were warned

Warned? As in the non-stop news coverage, ad naseum about COVID-19? Yeah, we get it. Those that ignore precautions, are going to ignore them. No matter how much fear-mongering ,finger-pointing and public shaming (through photographs) the self-appointed health police are doing.

Yeh, you might get it, but the idiots who still sit en mass under the shaded benches in LSL don't get it--Australia has limited social distance to two persons--

Here is a prediction: Unless we all get serious and work together to stop this pandemic, The Villages will end up being divided into basically two groups. Group A will be all the people who follow the rules, obey the laws, use common sense and do what they can to protect the people they love and stay safe. Hopefully that is the majority of citizens. Group B will consist of the selfish, don't care about anyone else, ,ignore the authorities, do what they please, entitled Narcissists. They will compound the problem and end up infecting many, including innocent Group A people. Sick Group A people will have a frightening chance of dying from this. So imagine if they find out they got infected by a Group B idiot. They are going to be really ticked off and rightfully so. Narcs don't have the maturity to take responsibility for their thoughtless actions, but they should be held accountable. If they cause the death of an innocent due to their careless attitudes spreading the virus, then they should be prosecuted for manslaughter. You think the division political parties cause is bad? That will look like a kindergarten tea party compared to this. People will start noticing who the Group B ones are and things will never be the same. It will divide The Villages and possibly the country unlike anything we've ever seen. It's really hard to have any respect for narcissists because of their behavior and lack of empathy.
It's going to get worse before it gets better. We have already had to stretch the isolation to the end of April to try and contain the damage. The country might never heal from the financial toll as well. Apparently there are too many not taking this seriously enough, which will just draw this out longer. Martial Law might become necessary to protect the rest of us from you troublemakers. So all you "B"s out there, put your adult panties on, be the solution instead of the problem, and STAY THE FORK HOME already! It's NOT that hard! So what if you're bored. Boo-hoo! Get over yourselves! It's just a temporary inconvenience for the greater good. We are all in the same boat.

I can't decide to agree or not, until you define the groups better. What activities do you consider "group B"?

People sitting on their own lanais/porches outside the door of their house?
People walking their dog?
People getting out to walk alone or with spouse?
People going for a golf cart ride to get fresh air?
People watching the sunset at least 6 feet from anyone else?
Golfers?
Pickleball players?
People congregating in groups and even dancing at the periphery of the squares?
People lining up close to each other waiting for the senior hour at the store?

Some of those are harder to answer than others, which is why I threw the no-brainers in

And then keep in mind people have to go to the grocery store, the pharmacy, and eventually the gas station. Other people need to have their food delivered since they lack mobility

So, if you are a perfect "group A" member, you have every right to be PO'ed if you get the virus from and idiot who joined a group of 40 watching the sunset. But what if you got infected from an asymptomatic person who had to go to the pharmacy to get their life saving cardiac meds? And how would you know which one infected you? Who would you point your divisive finger at?

The point is that you can mitigate the risk, but you cannot eliminate it.

As Spock said, “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.” You may not care if you get sick and maybe die, but there are others who might not want to lose you....and no one has the right to intentionally cause harm by not following guidelines that will help save many, many lives. Sorry, where did you study microbiology?

Don't you watch the national nightly news? Oh that's right, you are probably dancing at the square or having a party with your friends.
This is serious! People are dying every day. Look at what's happening in New York, New Orleans, LA and now starting in other big cities. Doctors and nurses are risking their lives to take care of the sick and THEY are now dying. Sorry, but if anyone deserves to get this, you do!

They are in their car, not spreading their germs in a group and then going to the grocery store.

The last line in your sentence. Wow, just wow. Just when I thought I’d seen it all on this site.

Beat me to it!

I have owned a home in TV for three years. Retirement didn’t start the way I planned, as I had been caring for ill 90 year old parents. Before this whole Covid-19 pandemic was brought to light, we have been in contract to sell our house. It has been hell these past weeks living in limbo with a Pod sitting in my driveway, scheduled furniture donation pick ups cancelled, trying to empty a house that we lived in for forty years that housed five children, and can’t donate to anyone, and it goes on. If this sale does not go through, we stand to lose a lot- including losing a rent from TV house that has now been vacated, and a the sale of our house in a now depressed market.

No one has understood self isolation better than us. We will not even risk going near my mother in a neighboring state. I am an RN who can’t understand the ignorance or selfishness of those ignoring isolation or social distancing. I am a mother of a daughter who has been working as a PA in a Raleigh hospital emergency room without the proper personal protective equipment, as well as admitting patients with a questionable diagnosis. With the attitude of some who stereotype, I as a New Yorker fear going to my long awaited home to the “Friendliest Home Town” where a lynch mob awaits us. So if anyone by chance decides to cruise around and see our NY license plates, I can assure you we are not vacationing.

Quote I saw today....”The virus doesn’t move, people move it. We stop moving, the virus stops moving, the virus dies. It’s that simple.”
Stay home.

You think that's ugly? Get used to it. We haven't seen anything yet. Friends and family are going to start turning on each other, that's what happens. Just pray there is not an all out Martial Law declared.

Steve

Must be one of stupid grandma little 40 year old patsies...:shrug:

There seems to be more and more every day......

Will there be another event..?

Did anyone call the Sheriff’s Dept? This is
the time if you see something say something. They could have been putting all of us at risk especially if there were out of towners involved. The positive cases are low here so we need to keep it that way. How scary would it be to wake up one day and find that 100 Villagers were dying in one day!

Why? Because these are the people who will be walking the aisles in grocery stores, picking up take out food and exposing everyone they come in contact with.

Exactly!

The way i see it, it is my responsibility to do what is BEST for me. I stay away from large groups and i do not interfere with or criticize what others do.

Arent we all to some degree money grubs?
