Although she was medically cleared four weeks ago by her physician, several members on our block have refused to communicate, socialize or even walk near her when she steps outside her residence in order to walk her dog. Several of our neighbors have completely excluded this lady and have secretly relayed to me that they will not ever socialize with this lady again until they have been vaccinated.

My neighbor has been unjustly treated like a "walking disease" although he has been medically cleared and advised by her physician that currently she will not be subjected to getting nor passing-on COVID for at least the next 90 days. I just wonder how many other Villages residents that are asymptomatic and have tested positive for COVID will not advise their neighbors in order not to become ostracized like my neighbor.

So I ask, if you test positive for COVID, will you tell anyone????

I fell sorry for these small minded neighbors you have. I wonder how they would feel if one of them got it and they were treated that way?

Some people are very vulnerable. The vaccine is here, all this will change soon.

If that is true we would ALL be sick. All of us going to the grocery stores and every public place! Come on already! We would ALL be sick. You don’t need to wear a mask while you are walking outside, in your car or on golf cart!

Unless you are deemed a close contact with someone, There is no reason to advertise. In my school here in NY, The district will notify anyone who is considered a close contact( being within 6 ft for a cumulative of 15 minutes or more with a person who tests positive.. Even if wearing your masks. My co worker informed over 2 weeks ago that she tested positive and the district will be contacting me because she said we were working on a project together and we were within a few feet from each other wearing our masks. I had to quarantine for 2 weeks, even though my test came back negative. My 2 week quarantine is over today and will go tomorrow for another test to be 100% sure. Thank goodness everyone has to wear masks in school. Masks do work for the most part.

This is the biggest reason I’m praying that in 2021 I can sell and inspire me to be a better person in a different part of the country.

BYE ------:clap2::clap2::clap2:
I hope you find happiness in another area.

For me, I'm very happy here and plan to live here for the next fifty years.....

Are these also people who refuse to wear a mask? They sound like a bunch of uninformed neighbors. QUOTE=FG111;1876777]Greetings -

Our neighbors let everyone know, quarantined themselves. No issue.

Hell no, Maybe, sometimes, I don't know!
I would go to my neighbors I don't like and give them all a sloppy Kiss. LMAO
Does that answer your question, God I crack myself up!
Just a little humor for the folks that are to uptight!

Virus shamers are usually ignorant.

Hmmm... some are just trying to protect themselves. Avoiding a person to protect yourself is not shaming them. It has been done in all pandemics. They used to burn the house down of families with the virus. Again, not to shame them but for others’ protection.

I think it is nice to be friendly towards people who had the virus. Compassion and caring are always welcome. But I don’t hold it against a person if they try to protect themselves. We still know so little about this virus.

Never! Too many people are A holes. Plus they have no business knowing anything about my health or any other personal information. Remember there are a Lot of False Positive test results.
