Surprised that the management at Tierra del Sol allow employees to not wear a mask.
 

My wife and I were at Tierra del Sol last Sunday, and it was true. There was a staff member walking around inside without a mask on. And he went outside and then came back inside again, still without a mask. From the look of it, I doubt that he forgot to put it on. This should not be allowed - especially by facilities that are owned and operated by The Villages. Management should step in and do something about it.

And to all those who think masks are not effective. Seriously? After all the evidence that's been provided?

As the poster, that was my point exactly since management is the one requesting masks and this wasn't the first time this same individual violated his own policy. This was pointed out to Golf the Villages previously apparently it wasn't effective. Small room with out effective ventilation with hundreds of patrons is probably part of reason that The Villages Health and Daily Sun has been having an increased awareness campaign.

I completely disagree with you. He had lack of information at the beginning but he is a very intelligent person who has valid information about this Pandemic, and is dispensing it ethically. He knows as much as anyone could have who is in the midst of an unprecedented event that is accruing information as it goes along. Dr. Fauci is NOT a "nut case" and has not been influenced by ANYTHING but scientific information. There is so much hatred and misinformation and conspiracy theories out there. I think Anthony Fauci is a person who has proved himself in this job for many years.

Contact John Rohan and let him know. Its unconscionable that people aren't smart enough to wear masks when we are an endangered age group in a pandemic. Golf is one of the few activities people can enjoy relatively safely these days. Let's not have a few uncaring people ruin it for others.

He has nothing to do with championship courses.

I have emailed him in the past with regard to masks in pro shops, and this was his response: thank you for your email and sharing your observations. I have included golf team members to read and respond.

I suspect The Villages can tell the pro shops what to do, if they feel patrons are being endangered in any way, or if the patrons make it clear they feel endangered.

I do hope you (and everyone else) realizes that the patrons are endangering the employees about 100x as much as an unmasked employee is endangering them. Forget it, who am I kidding, no one wants to hear the truth.

Forget it, people listen to the scientists. Everyone needs to wear masks.

Another total oversimplification. Wear a mask when? where? under what circumstances?

Indoors when unable to maintain social distancing?---yes, of course
Outdoors sitting in your driveway alone?---certainly not
Driving your car alone? Seems idiotic yet I saw at least 7 drivers doing that today.

You cannot make a blanket statement like that to cover all situations, and there isn't any "scientist" who thinks you can

What is a bigger thing than ones health?

Where is your scientific evidence

No one said masks cover all situations. Sigh. There certainly has been enough information put out by the scientists that dictate when masks are needed: People age 2 and older should wear masks in public settings and when around people who don’t live in their household.​
When you wear a mask, you protect others as well as yourself. Masks work best when everyone wears one.
A mask is NOT a substitute for social distancing. Masks should still be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially when indoors around people who don’t live in your household.
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol after touching or removing your mask.
Masks may not be necessary when you are outside by yourself away from others, or with other people who live in your household. However, some localities may have mask mandates while out in public, please check for the rules in your locality. Happy?

Extremely! and well said I 110% agree. Of course, it makes the "town fathers" in those mask mandate communities total idiots. Let's hope the new national leader doesn't do the same, as he previously stated he would

PS: I doubt it is "no one", after all, those people cycling alone or driving alone with a mask must think they are in a situation that warrants it. As Momma always said---"stupid is as stupid does"

After watching yesterday's hearings, it seems there is a lot of mask touching...
