I get all wrapped up in my days activities down here and it seems blogging falls to the bottom of the list. I have been walking every morning at 7:30 during the week with Reenie and sometimes Lynn F. We walk the streets of both parks, Trophy Gardens and Winter Ranch. The two parks sit side by side and have joint use of the golf course. The route we take turns out to be close to two miles. When I walk the bike trail in Jefferson it is a little over two miles so this works for me on both ends.
We have an active Covid case in the park. A mother was driven down by her daughter and her daughter will be flying back. The daughter must have a current negative test before she can board the plane. She is not vaccinated. The daughter did not pass the test. Both she and her mother have tested positive for Covid. While here they attended a wine tasting event and went to church. There have so far not been any additional cases. Fortunately, the vast majority of us are vaccinated. And most of the vaccinated have had the booster. The mother of this pair did have a vaccination but not the booster. We do have some unvaccinated among us. Management is now requesting the UNVACCINATED wear masks. I applaud them. The trouble is I suspect they will ignore the request. There is an unvaccinated couple who go into the pool hall. Only one that I know of but we will find out soon enough if they will abide by the request. Peer pressure may come into play.
On another note, one of our friends has come down with a bad cold. He has been vaccinated but has no booster. He has tested negative for covid but it brings up the question of how do you know for sure it is a cold and not Covid. Got the sniffles? Get tested! You do not know until you test. And by the way, we have not been close to our friend since he has had the cold.
Management is asking all new arrivals to self-quarantine for 5 to 7 days after arrival. This is probably what our winter will look like at least until everyone is here.
We will be spending Thanksgiving with the same folk we play cards, pool and walk with. All of our closest friends have had the vaccine and the booster.
And now for something different!
