ELBE: SCW residents don’t need to be ordered

Posted

We do not need some recreation manager telling adults what is good for them.

We have been making good choices for ourselves without any input from him. All outdoor activities should never have been closed. Take the outdoor swimming pools — they are outside in the sun and the sun’s UV radiation.

I think this rec manager is just another too empty suit that really can’t sort out what’s good and what’s bad. I don’t want the Chinese-originated virus and don’t want anyone to catch it from an infected carrier. We heard 6-10 people — well, was it six or was it 10? Then there was a four-fold increase in cases. Was it 24 or was it 40? Where are these people. Are they in hospitals or in multi-unit dwellings, assisted living centers — where?

Everyone I ask does not know anyone that has it. So the rec management shut everything down. I just want to know where they are. You must know because you stated the numbers — so how many people?

The choice is ours, do we want to protect ourselves or do we want to let you protect us. I, for one, don’t want a thing to do with what you want. I am perfectly capable of taking better care of myself than you ever could. The rec manager caved in to the golfers but said to heck with everyone else.

A good manager would see his shortcomings and admit he made a mistake in judgment and open the outdoor facilities now. I have a news flash for this person. The Chinese Originated Viral Infectious Disease No. 19 will be with us forever. It will be like the mumps, chicken pox, measles and so on. It is never going to go away. We either live with it or we don’t, it is like the flu, it is always going to be here.

The only thing the rec manager knows is that he lives in fear that he will be responsible if someone gets it. Well, put your big boy pants on — it won’t be your fault. Personally, I think he should be relieved of duties, the community does not need him to ruin the community. If someone asked me. “Should I move to Sun City West?” I will tell them no, this is the last place you want to come to. It is managed by people questionable judgment and run by board members that can’t think for the community. They only live in fear.

It is not your job to look out for my health or welfare. Your job starts and stops at managing the facilities and keeping them up for the members, and that is all.
