It’s an individual responsibility to protect yourself. We have to stop trusting others to the right thing.

In 1957 the usa was ravaged with covid 3. It was worse than the pandemic today. There were NO home confinement, no masks and no social distancing. The Jewish community in NY, NJ, CONN, and Mass protected their children by sending them to a camp in Maine. Today, generation after generation still send their young to that same camp in maine. People took responsibility for their own wellbeing, NOT TODAY!! Today people angrily demand that others protect them. If you are eager for others to tell you how to live your life well then "have at it" i choose to protect myself. Amen and God be with you.

You can NOT trust other people to do the RIGHT thing. That's why anarchy does NOT work and why people NEED Government. Granted that a government with a just, light touch is best.

Your very welcome!!! and as Recreation Assistant we do our best to protect us and others.:icon_wink:

Very true. One of the worlds biggest lies is I am from the govt and here to help you

In your defense, everyone is reading this wrong, The golf courses disinfect and some golfers practice social distancing. But when an employee is diagnosed it is reported to The Villages. Then in turn you would expect the coworkers to be told in case they came in contact with the person. They DO NOT. it is don't ask don't tell. There is no concern for the safety of the rest of the employees. How do I know ? I work for them

I don't believe it until I read it in the on line news that we are not allowed to mention here.

It not just The Villages it’s the whole state of Florida is in denial, we are a success story back up to over 8000 positives.

Truth to that .

In the past few months playing golf during this pandemic I've seen the villages do everything they can to play safe golf to allowing the employees to work or not. Keeping the bathrooms clean and posting reminders to sanitize, distance, and mask. I feel sorry to hear of someone's loss but no one here knows where the unfortunate contact was made.

I also heard one of the managers came down with COVID. When he wanted to send out an email to the staff to let them know, upper management told him NO. They didn’t want anyone to know.

Contact tracing would take care of the manager. But if I was the person who came down with Covid do you really think I would be asking for permission who to tell? Seriously?

It always amazes me what people expect from The Developer.
As of today there are 1284 confirmed cases in Sumter County. Do any of these people work? Where? Where do they shop? Have they gone out to dinner?
I have a friend who was quarantined because she worked with someone who tested positive. She works at a business on Villages property. SHE doesn't even know who the person was who tested positive! I've been in this store. There is no notice as I walk in that someone who works there tested positive for COVID.
Have you walked into any store that posted they have an employee that tested positive?
Yet you expect The Developer to tell you about all the positive cases in The Villages. :ohdear:

If you look on the Florida COVID website and the three zip codes, you get a good idea.

So sad for the person that got infected. But we are adults, if I was still working during these times, i do believe I would be taking my own precautions as well as what ever the company had in place or didn’t. We all have access to hand sanitizer, antiseptic wipes etc. before using phone or cart, wipe steering wheel, keys, etc down, if in office, wear a mask and wipe phone off, use my own marker and pencil, etc. I wouldn’t take it for granted that everyone else was careful. Be responsible for your own self. When you go shopping, do you trust that the cart has been wiped down, NO. Do it yourself. It you do pickup for groceries, do you wash your hands after unbanning things in case the person that put everything in your trunk is sick? Pumping gas? Wear disposable gloves or paper towels to handle equipment and my biggest pet peace, the touch screens every where.... gas pumps, check out, ATM, food ordering, .... do you wipe them down? Wash afterwards before you touch your face? Please stop blaming The Villages for everything. We are all in this together but YOU are responsible for you. Please be safe everyone. Condolences to to families of all those infected.
