What do the orders prohibit? From what I've read nothing changes in Virginia or Florida's advisory from what people are doing now. I haven't read NC's.

SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. – Sumter County, which has 51 cases of COVID-19, issued a stay-at-home order Tuesday that will remain in effect until April 30.

The order was added as an extension to a local state of emergency that was already in place, a county official said.

The area was already under a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., although residents can travel to and from work at that time.

Thank you. Excellent read.

"In contrast to hand-washing and other personal measures, social distancing measures are not about individuals, they are about societies working in unison. These measures also require sustained action before results are evident. It is hard (even for me) to conceptualize how on a population level ‘one quick little get together’ can undermine the entire framework of a public health intervention, but it can. I promise you it can. I promise. I promise. I promise. You can’t cheat it. People are already itching to cheat on the social distancing precautions just a “little”- a short playdate, a quick haircut, or picking up a needless item from the store. From a transmission dynamics standpoint, this very quickly recreates a highly connected social network that undermines much of the good work our communities have done thus far."

How can our Governor not make rules(laws) for the entire state and not just south Fl....all golf courses should be closed statewide(I am a golfer).

Just cant believe people are not doing this already, but there are those that need to be lead by the nose to do anything.

The president issues guidance, it is up to the governor to mandate the rules for the individual states. Most Importantly, it is up to ADULTS (us) to Adhere to those guidelines. I find it incomprehensible that we actually require someone in authority to mandate our daily routines to ensure safety for ourselves, our loved ones and our neighbors. It is called personal responsibility.

Stay away from all the people at LSL sitting shoulder to shoulder drinking and coughing on each other. Very selfish behavior.

Stay at home, but allow trips to the grocery stores! I have never seen the grocery store parking lots so full! But those same people that go every day to the grocery store, bitch about people golfing. Just because you use up 1 can of beans, doesn't mean you have to go out and buy another! Stay Home! Go to the store once a week like before!

Those who do not care about anyone else will continue to run around at will.

My opinion,
In the next few months to a year there are going to be a lot of empty houses in the Villages as the Virus spreads through-out the area.

Seems to be a repeat of history of the Spanish Flu, if you read the the story, only difference is we don't know the end of our story yet.

The Spanish Flu took two years to end and left over 50 million people dead worldwide.
Enjoy your Golf and Parties.
God save us all.

I do believe you, but I have not seen the curfew hours in writing for Sumter County Florida. There has been some confusion because Sumter County Georgia has written curfew hours. I just have not seen the Florida notice.
