Inaccurate scaremongering.

Much too serious a subject to allow rumors and myths and totally false information to be disseminated.

Let's cheer things up by remembering that Sumter County has the highest rate of vaccinations of all counties in Florida.

I am hazarding a guess that The Villages itself is even higher than 70% vaccinated. I hope that we don't get the breakthrough illness, but it is wise to still mask indoors.

I think that MOST of us who live in The Villages are quite aware of the science of this.

It makes me proud to live here. We are reasonable and smart and aware and up on things and are making the right choices, most of us.

As Billy the kid often points out....let's not get stuck on the vocal few. Most of us are quite aware and doing the right thing.

“Let's not get stuck on the vocal few.”
“We are reasonable and smart”

In general this is correct, YET……..those “vocal few” are repeated and never corrected and are very tolerated.

In addition, how smart (in the general sense) can we be as these conspiracies continue to appear on TOTV, and while P is not allowed, to contradict them, sometimes it is necessary to point things out that venture into that area. But, the tolerance level for allowing those items of disinformation are still tolerated by us all.

Trying to correct them and point out the lies and disinformation is what is disciplined……the lies stand and are becoming more and more tolerated.

It is not as FEW as you think it is.

They are under political pressure to do so now. However, that would so destroy decades of protocol that would make any approval from now on meaningless.

After eight month of doing nothing DHS secretary finally visits Southern border and admits immigration influx is out of control. New variants from South America plus tons of meth flooding the US. No leadership. Illegal immigration increased fivefold since last year. The solution is simple but they rather let Americans die than admit they were wrong, We have to wear masks but illegals get a free pass.

Because it is still an experimental drug. We are the test subjects.

I don't disagree. However, If someone is bleeding heavily from a wound, it isn't time to worry if you grab a dish towel instead of a sterile compress.

I chose to be vaccinated because of the statistics on people over seventy. For one thing.

Yes - research it. ONE company's PCR. Fact Check-FDA did not recall all COVID-19 PCR tests | Reuters

The Constitution is still a thing, and it limits the government's power.

Here's a suggestion: if you are concerned about the "breakthrough" infections, get yourself vaccinated, wear a mask (or three) or get a hazmat suit, stay 20 yards away from anyone you don't trust, and take any other precautions you deem necessary based on the "free-dumb" you enjoy in the USA. But please don't dictate how the rest of The People should prepare and be "safe." That's the most Un-American thing going on right now IMO.

I have lived in Canada and England and they are democracies. No doubt about it. NOT SOCIALIST OR AUTHORITARIAN. Just governing for the good of ALL people. I would rather their system of healthcare rather than ours. The people of this country who think like you are very very selfish.

Canada does have socialized medicine. I still think that our traditional medical community leads the way with research and development and much more skilled medical people are available..................if you can afford them.

Save your money. Invest wisely. Work two jobs when you are young. Don't waste money on dumb stuff. etc. etc. etc.

My child was born with congenital health issues. I learned early. Husband stayed in a tough job for years because of the insurance. We all have choices.

The CDC is NOT a government agency ! The feds send them taxpayer money but they are not part of the government. The FDA approves drugs NOT the CDC.

Thank you for the update (on what is happening regionally).

My daughter (visiting from Italy), my son (living in Maryland) and I (living in Florida [but staying in Maryland]) are on a road trip.

We left on Monday, July , July 26th. We have traveled through:
West => MD, VA, WV, OH, IN, IL, KS, OK
East => TX, NM, TX, LA (now)

Future
East => MS, AL, FL
North => GA, SC, NC, VA , WV… MD

We are going to arrive in Florida in two days, at the earliest.

FYI
Florida seems the leader in positivity rates nationwide. Maryland is way over in the opposite direction (<5%).

My children have received “shots” (son = J&J; daughter = AstraZeneca). I have not received any shot(s) - yet.

Yes, we have mingled. Yes, we have eaten indoors. Yes, we wear masks whenever around unknown people (that’s everyone). No one has ridiculed us, anywhere, at any time, in any state.

I am not anti-vax. I get a flue shot annually and have done so for years. I await full FDA approval.

Thank you for respecting my decision. It may change any day.

I am optimistic, but fully cognizant of the peril I face. I will continue to mask and change masks frequently. I will not mingle with my fellow residents in TV. :-(

Thank you for the information about the local scene. I will share this with my children.

Bonus
We’re excited, as well, to meet Fred, the storm, whose timing is uncanny).

I am vaccinated but came down with COVID last Friday after visit from family and I am sick. Some days are worse than others but this is no joke.

At 3:00 PM there were virtually no one in the lobby, waiting room or other rooms in the large Florida Cancer Center offices and procedure rooms. I did meet with my doctor there and between the two appointments. Here is what I learned.


—The largest primary care practice in The Villages, with over 60 doctors, has been riddled with COVID infections—26 cases as of this morning. They’re shifting all their appointments to telephone or FaceTime, cancelling all appointments that aren’t medically necessary altogether.

—At Florida Cancer Specialists, a huge practice with 100 offices and over 250 doctors thruout central Florida has shut down all but patient’s regularly scheduled and medically necessary procedures. No new patient or follow up appointments or procedures such as ultrasound, X-ray or other similar procedures.

—The entry window at Lake Medical Imaging in the Sharon Morse building was dark at 3:00 PM. I don’t know if they are open and operating.

—Florida Cancer Specialists has mandated that all their employees be vaccinated and show proof by next Monday or they will be sent home with no pay or be terminated. They’ve made it clear that the new rules are non-negotiable.

—One doctor showed me pictures of similar rules on the front door of an Ocala Hospital.

—The doctors rattled off the names of a dozen nearby hospitals who are what they called “Code Black”—not accepting any new patients for any reason. One doctor related an incident where a local man having a heart attack had to be airlifted to Miami. There are no hospitals within 75 miles of The Villages which are accepting new patients because they are completely full with COVID cases.

—Hospitals in Ocala had been sending new COVID patients home with a mask an oxygen tank. But now they’re reporting a shortage of oxygen because suppliers can’t keep up with the demand.

—One of my doctors reported that four of his patients, all younger than 40, have died in the last few days of COVID.

I came back home this afternoon shocked and scared. How this new Delta variant has spread and how lethal it is has frightened me to my core. This isn’t just on the TV news any more…it’s here, right in The Villages.

Respond however you wish to my post, I’m sure there will be naysayers and those who will claim their rights to personal freedom or claim the COVID reports to be false or created by the government, or simply fake news. But I’ve now seen enough evidence personally to know that’s not true. I’m pleading with you to reconsider both your own health as well as that of your friends and neighbors. Please, get vaccinated.


The parting words of that old Chicago cop that I quoted in my post earlier this week are even more applicable today. Please, please stay well out there…get vaccinated!

Thank you for your extensive post of the reality that is very well written with facts and compassion to do the right thing! Please consider the altruistic view of helping not only yourself, but others in your contact world.
