What are they thinking?
So, entertainment at the town squares were closed when the pandemic was under much better control than it currently is. Fast forward, the pandemic numbers have never been worse, and a massive influx of potential Covid spreaders are migrating south. Then the seasonal influx of high risk children and grandchildren visitors will follow. People from all over the country will be flying to Florida and converging on the 55 plus community that has been relatively safe during the slow season, where the older and more vulnerable full time residents generally take appropriate precautions. Despite this, starting next week the town squares will go back to business as usual, like the pandemic doesn’t even exist, WTF?
Could there possibly be a worse time to decide to open everything back up? I get that the powers that be need to sell all the houses they are cranking out, and it’s hard to sell houses without being able to showcase the Villages experience. But this could backfire in a big way if the Villages Covid numbers spike, which they most likely will. Not only that, but all the new houses they are trying to sell will have to compete with all the new pre-owned homes that will go on the market vacated by unfortunate Covid victims. OK, all the Covid deniers, let me have it, I can deal with it. |

I hope we do not all turn up in the cemetery or doing the monster mash! All dressed up as mummies that is or acting like zombies. |

Since the start of this pandemic my response to people going back to normal life has been “what’s changed?” I am high risk and cannot resume my previous way of life. I understand many are NOT high risk and their response may be quite different. One thing we can all agree with is everyone would like life back to normal.

The Florida strategy appears to be herd immunity. A White House official said a couple of weeks ago “we can’t control the virus” and Florida powers-that-be might feel the same way. Just my take.

Your points are valid. However , there is an instruction given to fighters in the ring. " gentleman, protect yourselves at all times" pretty good advice. Rely upon your own instincts for self preservation. Good luck to all. |

I would be very surprised if you are able to get a vaccine in December, just saying.

Why Covid deniers? You stay home and cower in your house. I’ll go out, be careful and enjoy the The life I worked 50 years to have.

I believe the context was “won’t” control the virus, although your quote above is accurate.

I too agree that December vaccinations is very optimistic. Hoping the vaccine is approved very soon though. My best!

They want everything to look normal so that snowbirds will come back and purchase new property which they have stock piled.
There is no concern about the population already here. Very unfortunate |

Unfortunately people have lost interest in mitigating the pandemic at this point. Then there are the outright deniers as you mention. It’s now every man for himself. Good luck. We’re Doomed!
