That's the problem, they are free to roam as the restrictions are not enforced.

Two families that I know, left NY in order to get out of harms way. Both are long time owners and are practicing social distancing and quarantined themselves for 2 weeks. As long as they are abiding by the rules, they or anyone from any state ,have a perfect right to come to their homes in TV. Apparently you think New Yorkers, who are under immense pressure from CV, are ignorant. We are not.

That's 2 families out of over 20,000 documented people that have entered the state from the NY Metro area. Do you really think they are all self quarantined? I doubt it very much. And I'm not saying they're ignorant, they are not obeying their governors orders. We would like to go up to Ohio and visit our children and grandchildren but we know we're not supposed to so here we stay.

That is just not true. Why do you feel the need to spread such lies

I hate when those pesky facts get in the way of a shocking headlines.

You might want to recalculate by including an estimate for asymptomatic/undiagnosed cases. Stanford study shows 50-85 times confirmed cases have been exposed to virus.

If you wish to congregate, get a beer and a hotdog, just go behind Palmer country club.

No one in their right mind wants to come here during love-bug season, and it seems to be starting early. And if they do, it will chase them back!

UFHealth's study of asymptomatic people who thought they had been exposed to the virus: 2100 people tested at the Polo Grounds so far, with three positive for COVID-19. That's .1%. Reported in The Villages Daily Sun, April 15.

I remember when N.Y. had 68 cases. I hope we reached the peak here

all I could think of after reading the OP was a memory of Howard Cosell drawing out the phrase "He-- could--go--all-- the-- way--this --- could --come ---back ---to -- haunt---them!!" as a defender intercepted a pass and ran it back for a TD

now in my best Rocky Bellboa voice: ADRIAN...you ain't got no crystal ball, so stop spreading fear
