Do you honestly think that there are going to be 50-60 people in line at the drink shacks?

I am confused..does one ticket get you in for several nights or do you have to specify only one noght?

695,887 cases ÷ 21,000,000 Florida residents = 0.033 X 100 = 3.3% of Florida residents got the virus.

So, 3.3% of Florida residents got the virus and of those, 98% did not die.

Too many folks in TV community seem to think that every other person they encounter out in public has this thing and it simply isn't true.

Thanks. Some really don’t want to do any research but just listen or read information without doing any other type of research. For example, In the US in 2018, pre covid and the most current year where data is available, there were 7,708 deaths per day for an annual total of 2,813,420 deaths regardless of cause. This year using the current 200, 000 total Covid related through end of August annualized, Covid will result in an additional 833 deaths per day. However the bulk of those deaths occurred in the first and second quarter and have been on a downward trend ever since so at some point we will know the daily death rate attributed to Covid (less than 833 per day) yet some of that data will remain suspect.

As Sen. Patrick Moynihan once famously said “you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts”.

I understand that point of view, however in this time I strongly disagree. If your level of risk tolerance causes you to get Covid and the spread it to others with high risk tolerance who spread it..............and so on and so on, it affects me and everyone else who then face continued or even further restrictions AS THE RESULT. The countries that have successfully controlled and almost defeated the virus, are countries that have been very diligent about the recommended cautions and restrictionS, for THE GOOD OF ALL.

So the math dictates it is no problem? Share this math with the families of the 14,000 dead and see if that makes them feel better about losing their loved one.

Five out of a hundred people who contract Covid-19 who are my age are predicted to die.


FIVE OUT OF A HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO CONTRACT COVID-19 who are my age will die.

How old are you. I will be glad to do the math.

LucyP 09-26-2020 01:34 PM

Who are the bands playing on October 5th?

debron911 09-26-2020 02:44 PM

No “happy hour 2 for 1” but shacks still serving drinks

If one dies in their sleep without Covid isn’t that still a death? No guarantees that if you don’t go out that you wake tomorrow.

Interesting logic! So if you are a smoker you should keep smoking cause you’re going to die of something sometime.

Barborv 09-26-2020 03:52 PM

You will need a free pass that you have to get from the Village box office for the evenings you want to be inside the square . The drink shacks will be open but no happy hour. But there will be probably a lot of people around the perimeter of the squares which defeats the whole purpose of the pass for inside the square. As long as everyone wears their mask and just lifts it to drink their drinks, hopefully it will be ok and we can continue to move forward. Otherwise if people are going to start getting infected and the numbers go up, then they will shut them down again!

News flash everyone is going to die, some from their first breath, some as a child, teen, young adult, mid age, old age. Sometimes you could be the healthiest person and drop dead from a dissecting AAA, or a car crash, or slip in the shower.

They wouldn't be if the so-called responsible people would read the latest student in JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association) about hydroxychloroquine. JAMA article affirms benefits of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19 – NaturalNews.com
You see, those responsible people, have millions of dollars invested in a new vaccine. They wouldn't want a drug that can be purchased for pennies to get in the way of making billions ... from us.

News flash!!! I knew that! If you want to risk dying of Covid that is your call, however getting it and infecting other people who may not share your cavalier attitude is definitely not a call you should make.

I don’t turn my automobile lights on After dark because if I die I die. Nowhere in our great constitution does it say we must turn our lights on after dark and I will not have my rights abridged by politicians. If someone else dies because they didn’t see me in the dark that is their problem, and besides they were going to die of something someday.

A reasonable first step. If you are at high risk or don’t feel safe stay home.

Real life.. my entire family has been fighting this since day one. Ages 20 to 67. So yes that risk is in my everyday life
It’s a different story when you are actually in the real world, don’t have a choice, putting themselves And family in harms way. So many who see what going on in real time, instead of tv, net, and paper. Yet they do not take the credit of hero. It’s just their job.

At least if they test positive they know what is waiting for them, and have no time to worry if it does happen.

I apologize if I got personal. I felt you got personal with the first “news flash” and I responded in kind.

Read what you just posted.

Read it again. Did you say you are a medical professional, or did I remember incorrectly?

My mothers new roommate in the rehabilitation center just got out of a 10 week stay in the hospital recovering from covid. My mechanic recovered after a month at home six months ago but still has almost no taste when he eats most things. Sounds like fun to me.

My youngest sister got it about 6 weeks ago. Thankfully she is better but still has no sense of taste or smell hopefully she will get it back but understand it will take months.

I believe they are requiring a ticket to get into the square because they are still limiting the number of people in the square. I'm sure they are hoping for some level of social distancing (or at least giving people the space to do it if they wish).

I don'[t know if they will allow you to bring adult beverages into the square, but with COVID a lot of rules have been relaxed. Maybe this is one of them.

Glad I did all my partying, night clubbing in my 20s and 30s. Finally settled down at 42 and got married. Been there done that have no interest in the squares, drinking and partying on a good day, never mind during the pandemic.
