In my job, I'm sometimes just within inches of other people, and there's really nothing I can do to avoid it. But when it's possible, I distance myself. Even if that person wasn't immune compromised - there was still no reason to get so close to these strangers, in a mostly-empty town square. Especially if it's just taking a photo. You have a zoom feature on your camera. |

I am probably very wrong, but it is my impression that the restricted hours for senior shopping has nothing to do with "food shortages" or "Great Depression" reasons, but are simply within the protocols set up explaining seniors are more vulnerable to this virus,and thus having them shop ONE HOUR with no younger folks was safer. I only know what the folks on the podium say, and what read, but seems logical relative to what we are told.
But I am always in error |

The general idea is this: in MOST parts of the country, seniors are not the primary customers of stores. Everyone else is. So rather than force seniors to constantly be exposed to everyone else's germs all week long, they've given seniors an hour once or twice a week, where they have the stores to themselves. What is overlooked - are stores that service primarily seniors in the first place. They are few and far between, and this particular policy isn't going to be of much help to customers at the Villages. But as a company-wide policy, Publix and every other company that's implemented it, are doing a huge service to seniors by providing it. |

That’s what I was thinking. Most people who live here are seniors. So they want us in groups less than 10 but will cause a great many of us to be in line at the these stores for senior hours. Doesn’t make sense.

This reminds me of the story my father told about the Spanish Flu of 1918. He and his three siblings lived on combined homesteads in eastern Wyoming. They so feared infection that they wouldn't go to town or even to the one-room post office a few miles away to pick up the mail, for fear it could be contaminated. Since they were self-sufficient, and not dependent on others to supply food, pharmaceuticals, fuel, etc., they were able to practice real social distancing.

The Concept of this is genuinely a good hearted measure and I'm certain it will work out for some people. Lets see the Reality once it is implemented. I certainly hope it helps people. Fingers Crossed.
