shameful if it actually was 'business as usual'....but I wouldn't immediately jump to that conclusion based on hearsay

Be responsible for your own safety. It's not up to the villages or anyone else to protect you. I wear a mask when necessary and carry around a small spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol. Doesn't matter what those around me do. I am careful what I touch and wash with alcohol afterward.

Proven facts?
Just because a person working for golf died from the virus does not mean it was contacted while working. Any number of other places. So, how is anybody able to list where the infection occurred?
Picking and choosing your activities has nothing to do with cases. Without contact tracing how would it be determined where the virus was contracted at a rec center or some other activity?
What information would you want published in the Daily Sun?
Your statements make no sense, since there is no logical way to do what you are asking.
Your safety is your responsibility......

I like proven facts, I do not like hearsay.

Everyone who worked with the deceased was tested. Precautions were taken. God bless the family and friends of the deceased. He had many other health problems prior to getting the virus.

This is not true. The courses I work at, common areas are sanitized by employees constantly. Carts, including ambassador carts, are sanitized between each use. Extremely sad what happened, but you can’t condemn the entire organization. We are trying very hard to keep your life as normal as possible.

So very sorry to hear about your co-worker. And disappointed to hear how many automatically don't believe you, when you actually worked there and saw a cover-up yourself. Not surprised that TV would hide this vital information. They seem to care more about their image than of people's lives. Happy to hear you were able to quit, to at least keep yourself safe. I guess all those nay sayers won't believe this until they themselves are stricken. Stay home. Wear a mask when out. Save lives.

Mr. Ledbone1,
You sir are part of the problem. I have a wife with stage 4 cancer with a suppressed immune system.
I also work daily on the front lines so I speak from experience. I see people who have covid with no symptoms. I see people who have severe symptoms and pass away. I also see people who recover and will have lasting neurological symptoms or heart & lung issues. People who have some pre existing issues are at a huge risk, especially from people like you who continue to look at this as “paranoia”.
It’s real, it needs to be contained, and with flu season around the corner deaths will rise significantly.
And just so you know, wherever you go, whatever you do, if the person next to you has not been careful, they could be infecting you. Even in your local ER waiiting room. I sincerely hope you change your way of thinking.
