But wouldn't this restaurants still do take out as well?

careless servers ?
 

Oh My .. Something else to be scared of .. maybe the butcher spits on your meat .. don;t forget the pesticides on your fruit and veggies .. Whats a person to do ?? I think crawl into the nearest corner of your house and let nature take its course !!

Not me! Not for a long, long time. We used to eat out a lot, maybe two nights a week. But my “boxes” are checked, senior citizens, some pre-existing conditions. The chance that a restaurant meal could be our last simply isn’t worth the risk. I may even wait until after we’re able to be vaccinated.

Try Flippers or Giavanni and you might change your turne

Just had a large pizza from NYPD.... My first choice...also Mallory Hill when they reopen...

Welcome, you want special fried rice?

Friends went to Orange Blossom on March 17th, ten of them. The waitress was sniffing. Six in the group became sick. My friends, one was in intensive care for ten days and the other was so sick at home that a friend moved in with her. She became so dehydrated at one point she had to be taken by ambulance to emergency for six hours to be rehydrated. They are younger than us. They are very active.

I wish we knew more about the cases of people who have contracted it here in The Villages. This is the only instance of anyone I know who has contracted the virus.

Does anyone else know anyone personally? Obviously I can't vouch it was Covid-19. I certainly do not fault the waitress or the restaurant. I do believe that it very well have been Covid-19, but I am just grateful our friends are slowly recovering.

We all have been told that it spreads very easily from one human to another. We all know that the older we are the more deadly it is. These two are at least ten years younger than us.

I just heard this from them yesterday. I got a call from them. This is someone we know well and have known for several years. They are friends who have visited our home many times and we have dined with them and we have visited their home. I trust that what they told me is truthful. They live in the older section of The Villages.

Just because someone sneezes or coughs doesn't mean they're dying from the virus. There are allergies al around us. I can't wait to go our and eat.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.'

Look at it this way there are thousands that are exposed everyday, and did not get Covid.

Elective Surgery is returning today in multiple states. Not only will healthcare workers take risk, so will patients, and a family member ( ie the DD)

Think of all those who have continued chemotherapy, with comprised immune system. During this lockdown

Yet they all continue to go forward. Fear of Covid is not what they worry about

Brilliant reference. Thanks.

I think I remember that you are a retired nurse? I am not. I taught little kids.

My friend was in intensive care for ten days. Those who are there with this bug, often do not get out.

Yes. Many do survive. However the odds of one dying get more serious as they get older. I am not yet ready to curtsy and leave. Plus I am still protecting and loving our daughter with Williams Syndrome.

Every one is different. Every one has their own views. I am frankly very surprised at some of the lack of information and the cavalier attitude that I am reading everywhere.

I know there are no easy answers. In this case there aren't even good questions, and the hard facts, the valid statistics in this State are hard to come by.

I think it fair to say that on most days, the more I know about people, the better I like dogs.

Restaurant openings
 

You raise a good question as this is unprecedented in business. I don't think a reservation system will work. First of all with only 25% occupancy rate the businesses will be barely covering costs of staying open. Secondly a reservation system will no doubt result in "no shows" which will further hurt the business. No one likes to wait in line but the business owner sees that as a sure thing and will want to have a regular flow of customers into his/her few tables that are open.

Great idea! This would certainly help the restaurants and give people a better chance of patronizing their favorite places.

Agree. Except if you need 2 crutches or a quad cane and walk at 0.001 mph.

What if the restaurant gave the patrons a 10 minute grace period, then the reservation is lost if they do not show. I think a reservation system would bring in more patrons, knowing they will not have to wait very long to get a table.
