Exactly, can’t wait to hear some music and actually maybe be able to do some dancing again. The people that are still walking around in total paranoia with their face is covered up can just stay home as you say. It’s not their place to tell us how to live our lives.

Anyone who reads the papers or online news can see Florida infection/death stats are going up, not down, ever since they started reopening. Right now, this area isn't as bad, but wait until the snowbirds start coming back and the usual tourists. We know that social distancing won't be happening on the squares. There will be the science deniers who won't wear masks. Its a recipe for disaster.

Then stay home and there will be more room there for the rest of us

Well actually we already know that 25 to 50% of those deaths were actually from other causes that happened to have Covid along with them.. All part of the big lie. And all in seniors with several other mitigating conditions. We are not scared anymore! Stay home if you choose!

Technically true, but on any given night how many people do you think from the surrounding areas are in the squares percentage wise as opposed to villagers. One or 2% at best would be my guess

[mcwood4d]

Yay! The squares are opening again!!

It's about time.

They already tried in once and it failed probably due to the lack of all those "intelligent people" which is why this State performed at the bottom of the pile in deaths and infections albeit not that bad in this area but lousy all around it. Still waiting to see what happens IF ANYTHING on Oct 5th wrt to the "squares." Hope it's true!

Not sure where you are getting your “facts”... but after getting in a “debate” with a family member on how AWFuL Florida was doing..I did some research. Found out the population vs. death percentage of Florida and RI (where they lived).
Results...RI death rate was .101%. Florida .058%.
Tell me where we are the worst again?

I wonder if the booze line at Spanish Springs will stretch all the way back to the bowling alley? LOL

No problem. Hoping at least some of you have the brains enough to wear a mask.

I may go on my bike and listen from afar. I look forward to live music again, although I wouldn't want it at the expense of lots of people getting sick.

[Carolynphelps]

Great news!! Yeah!!!!!! 👍🏻😊

Recall the construction projects where fences are brought in to control access within. I seem to recall that was done over the summer at LSL for a short time.

Barriers could be erected to control access. Simple screening like what's done when you enter the theme parks, some stores, and various health clinics.

There are already several entertainment locations and crowds seem to be manageable. And none of those restrict entry to outsiders.

Someday, the squares will join these other venues and businesses. Until there is official word, it's only speculation.

PS Brownwood already used the square for the Saturday morning farmer's market. There are barriers erected to limit vehicles. It's not overrun with people shopping.

NOT FEAR. Caution.

The few I am speaking of it’s not caution, it’s fear if they step outside they will not live. Refusing to see anyone. Almost like a PTSD. Agencies are starting to deal with these few, but have not made much progress. One always hopes there will be a turnaround, but sometimes Hope is not enough

Can't wear a mask when sipping on an adult beverage.
