Along with "stupid"you might want to add "arrogant, insensitive, uncaring, narcissistic, self-centered" and a host of other descriptive terms. I don't enjoy wearing a mask, but I do it show others that I respect their lives as much as my own. And, remember, PennBF, not wearing a mask is their way of saying " I care about no one but myself and the rest of you can go to H---". Pity them. If you are a person of faith, pray for them.

We ordered from BONEFISH GRILL a few weeks ago (to be delivered) and they were great. The young girl who delivered it and set it down at our front door even earlier than the time frame they gave us. Bang Bang and Cod Fish & Chips. Still warm and savory; spicy for the BB which is how I like it.😋👍🏼

We lost our Uncle who was 102. He died in March we got many condolences and not 1said thankfully “he’s the only 1”.
The most heartbreaking was he died alone AND without the benefit of LAST RITES.
Poster needs to rethink the use of ONLY when it comes to human lives. Very me myself and I.

Our condolences on the loss of your uncle.
Our best wishes for you and your family in these trying times.

Is it a coincidence that Glenview and Red Sauce has BOGO (buy one get one) yesterday?? After all, this is The Villages!!

The people ignoring the social separation better hope they don’t get infected with a serious case requiring hospitalization. The crowds you all observed are mostly seniors I suppose.

The statistics regarding seniors who get a serious case of COVID-19 are compelling. If their case is serious enough to require hospitalization and the use of a ventilator, the statistics from a recent large study are as follows:

— Patients who require a ventilator are typically on the machine for 16 days.

— Only 36% of the patients who have had ventilator treatment are discharged from the hospital, 64% die, most while still on the ventilator.

— If the senior patient has some pre-existing condition such as diabetes, obesity, heart problems or respiratory problems, 49 of the 64 remaining on the ventilator will die.

— If the senior patient has had or is being treated for cancer and remains on the ventilator, the survival rate is zero!

So, to all those people who believe the politicians who are saying that the cure is worse than the disease — go ahead and get belly-to-belly. Slow dance when the music on the squares begins again. Shake hands and don’t wear a mask....and get your affairs in order.

Ah Dear Kid Bille: I was NOT justifying anything. Simply pointing out that (1) when there are full page ads in the Daily Sun advertising BOGO meals at both Red Sauce and Glenview, you have to be a little slow to NOT realize that the lines will be horrendous. And, (2) When you have horrendous lines of people you once again have to be a little slow to NOT know that a large percentage of the folks will not be complying with safety guidelines.

ALL others were belt buckle to back pocket, shoulder to shoulder.

It is that complete disregard for the guidelines that will cause the return to businesses opening to be a failure.

Very disappointing.

Shame on Red Sauce lack of management!

How is this a lack of management? What do you think the manager could do? The manager has no law enforcement power to force people maintain social distance, besides there is no law on social distance only a guideline. I can tell you what would happen if the manager tried to break up the crowds, he would be ignored or cursed at and possibly even assaulted. You saw it why didn't you break up the crowd???

Now that guy is going to call me paranoid again. I don't know if I am up to it today...……..

I don't think it's paranoid when on April 17 Sumter county had 120 cases and today the total is 171.

Those of you that choose to cower in your houses and buy into all the paranoia have that right. What you don’t have the right to do is tell other people how they should live!

I don't know how anyone is managing an every other week trip to the grocery, between the shortages of items available and the limits on the purchase..... doesn't seem possible to me. Shoot, I have a small cat and Walmart allowed 2 - 3oz cans of food with last order. And next delivery available is a week off. Those of us who are unable to go to the stores are having a difficult time managing to get the basics. And I can assure you, we are cooking at home..... with whatever is available to purchase to do so.

[nevjudbaker]

Yep same at Scrooples. Not a hundred people but probably 15-20. Again 10% wore masks.

Hmmm...Wouldn't your point then imply that 50% of those that died were healthy and young?
