Default Should the Squares stay closed?

Should the three Village Squares open back up or should they stay closed until a proven and useable vaccine for Covid 19 is found? We are talking about crowds, live music and dancing. There are reports on unmentioned sites to be movement at the squares to indicate the possibility of some type of activity coming relatively soon. If they open we wouldn’t go anyway, but what about you? This seems to be improbable given the age and vulnerable population of The Villages. Wishful thinking on some residents part perhaps.

A woman who works in the Village's Entertainment Department posted on FB today that there is NO schedule for music to return to the squares.

They do not have an opening date. She did not say never.

They say it takes 2 weeks to break a habit. After 5 months being shut down I could care less, stopped drinking found there is other things in life’s highway to do.

Don't look at our doctored positivity rate - look at the number of deaths - they are positive

Just moved into TV, leasing for 6 months to see if purchasing a home here is a desired option. Yea I am a bit sad knowing that the three village squares are in a limited use mode for now. I do know that these venues in a limited use stage should not be the primary used as a primary decision point for any future TV purchase. I am sure that eventually things will get back to normal, 6 months maybe another year?

NO!

My guess TV is trying/waiting to avoid the no win task of enforcing guidelines, hence they will wait until a desired stability is reached (what ever that means to who ever).

Open them all...those that don't want to come--let them stay home...The Villages are about living not dying....to those of you that want to push your way on everyone---Communism is not for America.

When the snowbirds fly south the squares will open...because they will itch and moan till the Morses get sick and obtain an executive order from the governor for libabtions and line dancing
