Drove past RJ Gators (LSL) last night....about 200 people crowded together blocking the sidewalk, drinking and dancing. Guess they are immune from the virus.

They are in the fresh air, have a great attitude, and are having a good time. If you don’t want to join them don’t. It their right given by the constitution to chose to join in, just as it is your right to stay away.

The Constitution gives you the right to assemble, the State and local government has the right to control that you do it safely. Please don't omit stuff just to make your point.

thank you. if somebody is so scared, they should'nt be leaving the house @ all, yet alone scout around for larger groups they can catch the virus from. pardon me for being frank in expressing my opinion.

Shame on you !
200 hundred ? You sat there and counted ? I think not - how fast where you driving? And 200 - you should shelter in place and stop posting false hoods .

It’s hard to comprehend what’s in the mind of those people: Denial, Death Wish, Insufficient Grey Matter? Whatever, they obviously have an abundant disregard for their fellow citizens������

This has been an issue since the beginning. The same people who were posting stay at home, if you don't you're entitled, selfish and an idiot that will kill us all, were the ones running around OUTSIDE THEIR HOMES taking pictures and describing incidents of OTHER people not staying at home. It's spelled H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y.

Or maybe you haven't been reading of listening to the news the last 3-4 Months or all of the press conferences The Prez. and the Gov. have been doing!!

It is called freedom. Remember that? I guess the lines to get our soma from the government will have to be "social distanced" as well.

I was reading some posts for and against reopening here in The Villages and our country in general. One was talking about being selfish and it got me to thinking.
There are those wanting to reopen yet they’re being classified as selfish. There are those that rely on all kinds of people to supply them while they cower in fear at home. Isn’t that being selfish too?
You expect your garbage to be picked up, you expect the grocery store to be open so you can get milk, you expect truck drivers to supply the stores, you expect farmers, meatpackers, fruit and vegetable pickers all to keep food in that grocery store.
You expect Amazon to still ship all the things you’re ordering while you sit at home shopping. You expect the delivery driver to leave it on your doorstep. You expect your phone to work, your power to stay on, and your mail to show up rain, sleet, or shine. And most important, you expect the doctors and nurses to be there if you need them although many of them across the country have been furloughed because their units and services have been shut down while the entire system focuses only on COVID19.
The whole premise of shelter in place is based on the arrogant idea that others must risk their health so you can protect yours. There is nothing virtuous about ignoring the largely invisible army required to allow people to shelter in place.
I know there are some of you that are screaming mad about what I just said but stop and really think about what is allowing you to stay safe in your home.
I truly believe that with some common sense on my part, I could easily go back to life as it was. I want to go to restaurants, I want to shop at the little store just up the road.
And yes, I could catch COVID-19. I could also catch the flu or a cold. I could die from obesity. I could die from a heart attack. I could be in a car accident. I could get run over by a bus. I could get struck by lightning. We take risks everyday. If you choose to stay home, that is absolutely your choice. And please don’t start screaming at me about how I’ll just spread it. Why are you worried? You won’t get it because you’re staying in your home. Are you going to forever cringe and glare everytime someone coughs, sneezes or has the sniffles? Are you going to shelter in place every time a new strand of the flu happens?
Our economy can’t withstand much more of this. If our economy collapses, so will the rest of the world’s. If that happens, you will see the rise of tyrants.
I absolutely don’t want people to die...from COVID or anything else. I want people to live.
But sheltering in place is not living.
