Stay home. I’ll go out.

Well said! We do not need Florida turning into another nanny state. If that is what you need, move elsewhere. Take some personnel responsibility and do not impose your thoughts or beliefs on me.

Very well said. I view Covid Pandemic similar to WWII. In WWII, the greatest generation made sacrifices, many with their lives overseas, others at home collecting scarce material or rationing. As a society we were all in, helping and caring about each other. Today sad to say we are not the next greatest generation.

No where have I heard that the country will shut down again in all the info that has been coming from the new admins task force.

"An advisor to President-elect Joe Biden has said that closing businesses for four to six weeks could help keep reduce the number of infections and get the economy on track until a vaccine is approved and distributed."
That is a scary, misguided statement. Closing businesses for 4-6 weeks will get the economy on track?!?!?

So you like and want someone censoring free speech, but only as long as the process does not impact you??
Free speech is an American right. No one should support censorship of the right to speak out.

Look at the new case numbers for the long standing mandatory mask wearing states. They are, in most cases, spiking at a rate equal to or greater than states without mandatory requirements.

Kind of reminds me of Agent Orange ...didn't seem so bad in the beginning........I got 40% disability from it..

So if the restaurants are operating at 100% capacity, why not the squares? Blaming the "family" for this is absurd. If you are not comfortable - don't go. I limit what I do, you have choices!

Once again, such division over something as simple as following CDC guidelines to protect yourself and others from a virus that is out of control all over this country. And guess what, folks, those people that live all over the country have arrived here and will continue to arrive here throughout the winter season. I expect the numbers to rise and you can see that it can explode in just a few weeks. Last point, for all those that think you are healthy and no worry if you get the virus......how many of you have underlying conditions that you don’t even know you have. My husband was the healthiest person, even drs were amazed with his blood work. Never had to take pills. He played golf, ate dinner and died during the night from a heart attack. Cancer is a silent killer. It is your age....your immunity is not the same as when you were 20. That is why our community is at risk. Yes, people should go out, but wear a mask and practice social distancing.
This disease is one like we have never seen because you can be a spreader and not even know you are sick. Just my opinion. And a thumbs down to the sarcastic bloggers that add no value to someone’s post.

blame the governor

Not necessarily. Dont feel comfortable going ? Stay home

A small amount of common sense is all that is required - we still play golf and occasional sit outside at a restaurant. Whenever called upon to go to the grocery store etc. we wear our masks - wash hands afterwards. We are not coming in your house and you are not coming in ours. We do not consider ourselves to be in lockdown just being careful. Those who are determined to put themselves at risk - good luck to you.

89 people out of 135,000 in Sumter county have died due to the virus. That is .o66 percent of the population! And yet everyone thinks this virus is another Ebola.
The number of cases is meaningless since there is no corresponding information about the individual test. How many times has this person been tested? Is the person symptomatic on non-symptomatic? What test was used?

Get a grip people.

So this forum can be just like Facebook, Twitter and Google controlling what you can see and think.
