This is much safer than urban neighborhoods where people are packed together. So keep your distance, keep up your courage, don’t panic, and we will get through this.

Has golf been closed? As far as I know, golf has remained open.

With so many stubborn old people, who have a tendency to mainly listen to those who aren't scientists, how can we NOT...have a "surge" at some point?

Or maybe they saved your life!

Residents of The Villages, a sprawling retirement community in central Florida, were still gathering in town squares, visiting nail salons and browsing an estate sale in late March. Only after Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a statewide stay-at-home order April 1 did many of the holdouts hunker down, residents and officials say.

The delay in adopting social-distancing measures could haunt The Villages, a fast-growing metro area of more than 128,000 people whose older age makes them especially vulnerable to Covid-19

So, are we going to have a surge or not?

Quarantines are 14 days. Governor's order was April 1. It is April 18. People who were careless in March already got sick if they were going to. Anyone who has been careful since April 1 is gonna be fine - provided they stay careful. No surge.

What? WSJ is supposed to be financial news? 68 positive out of 128000 is like 1/2%. Use common sense

Stupid article. They didnt even mention STDs, loofas, or key parties. I was so disappointed.

I think rather than believing ongoing news reports about a spike coming, its time to thank God for His Divine protection.

Psalm 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
even the most High, thy habitation;
10 there shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him,
and shew him my salvation.

Huh ?

I'm with you. It would have been enjoyable especially the " Key Parties " .

I am impressed at the lack of response regarding the Stanford Serology Study provided in an earlier post....
this one

Released yesterday.....Food for thought; more understanding required; and personal research.

[Terri8352]

68divided by128,000 equals .0037
.0037 rounded is .004...move the decimal for a percent .4% of the population....still a very low amount

Apparently you think New Yorkers, who are under immense pressure from CV, are ignorant. We are not.

I disagree

Well Mr Vintage, the NY license plates that are here infiltrating your sanitary bubble are those who pay their taxes, pay their amenity fees and support the clubs and restaurants and are stuck here, unable to head north.
