Jerry and Linda, enjoyed todays mailbag Monday. Best thing I heard was the fact that you filter out all political comments. Please never change that. Your videos are a refreshing change from everything we see on tv and hear on the radio.

My hubby and I have been self isolated since March 8, 2020. We live in a Del Webb community in Si California. We love it because there are only a handful of folks who don’t follow the rules, masks are worn and we socially distance. Our numbers are very low. Took a few folks getting sick and die, folks got wise. Stay safe.

@susangarland6869 3 жыл бұрын

San Diegan here. Our numbers are not very low. In fact, it's the complete opposite. California has been ranked #1 in having the most oppressive covid restrictions, and just last week we beat out New York for the #1 spot in death rate. Most restrictive and highest death rate. Because masks and social distancing and fearmongering don't work. Which is why Florida, which is one of the least restrictive states, has a lower death rate than California. And that's even with all the retirees running around.

@rend7267 3 жыл бұрын

So glad you're in a good community, it makes all the difference. The vaccines help protect against sever illness, hospitalization and death, AND the masks and distancing help protect from getting the virus. So, stay smart, stay safe, save lives, and we'll all get through this.

We were at The Villages 14 days ago doing a lifestyle visits on New Year's week. Masks are there to reduce how far you expel the virus. When you wear a mask you're protecting others from you. When others wear a mask they're protecting you . With that said; we were appalled by the reckless disregard for the safety of others at the three town center events we visited.

I live in a gated community & they try to wagon train in behind you @ the unmanned gate. They frequently break the gate. I feel that we will still need to wear mask, socially distance...despite vaccines, until the incidence falls nationwide/ worldwide. Most epidemiologist estimate late fall or end of 2021. It requires everyone’s cooperation. If this was a war you could do it. Perseverance.

San Diegan here. California has been ranked #1 in having the most oppressive covid restrictions, and just last week we beat out New York for the #1 spot in death rate. Most restrictive and highest death rate. Because masks and social distancing and fearmongering don't work. Which is why Florida, which is one of the least restrictive states, has a lower death rate than California. And it has nothing to do with being selfish and self-absorbed. Most of us know how the data has been manipulated to keep us afraid and compliant. Look at you telling people to stay home for 15 days. That's really what's selfish. If you're afraid, you stay home. The rest of us have lives to live and aren't afraid of a virus that has a 99.98% survivability rate.

I discussed this with my friend who has lived in The Villages for 8 years. She also says the political intensity of The Villages is overblown. According to her, there are a small number of people who are very political. Their activism/visibility became more magnified because of the election in November. Many Villagers keep their political views private. Those are strictly her observations.
