THE VILLAGES, Fla. - Across the Villages, a sprawling retirement community with more than 115,000 residents in the vital political battleground of Florida, reactions to the growing coronavirus crisis are invariably colored by a voter’s partisan views.
Interviews at the densely populated Villages with more than a dozen senior citizens - the demographic most at risk from the virus that has sickened more than 100 people in Florida so far - showed many were more worried about their investment portfolios than about getting ill. A Reuters/Ipsos poll from March 2-3 also showed opinions about the coronavirus divided along party lines. Democrats were more likely than Republicans to see the outbreak as an imminent threat to the United States and to say there were taking steps to be prepared.
“We’re going to have our people from the campaign and the party at every level re-emphasize the president’s words to reassure our people and our neighbors that the economy will be fine,” said Michael Barnett, Republican Party chairman in Palm Beach County. While events in the sprawling retirement community’s many town squares were canceled on Friday, residents have refused to panic - even as they take precautions such as using hand sanitizers, skipping some social outings and driving to visit children in other states instead of flying.
They need to wake up and smell the panic!!

Media does what they can to keep driving down the markets
Good for them let them all Gather in one spot the selfish old bastards can do us a favor and help us save Social Security
For now...
Where do they find these idiots? “I refuse to not live my life.” Well by all means, refuse to be smart for a few months and end up six feet under ten years sooner. Oh, and take a few hundred of your best friends with you.
Probably thinking if they survived syphilis they'll survive this.
90 years of the S&P 500. No matter what, the trend is up
They will survive but will be poor thanks to the hyperbolic coverage of Covid-19.
Boomer, just give me your money. You won’t make it through this.
We are constantly told the fear with covid-19 is that our seniors will get sick, that they’re the ones in danger. By reading this thread, few democrats seem to care if seniors live or die anyway, so why are we freaking out about covid-19 again? Why are we suiciding the economy?
It was readily apparent BEFORE the election that Trump was unfit. These old farts just refused to vote for a woman. Realistic but steady growth was not good enough. Stability was not good enough. They short-changed America and this is the result.
China really wanted to off the older generation and buy them out too.
🙄 Can’t take it with you.
They’re just following the example set by their dim-witted hero
Dark, if they are not careful they may not need the stock
Why would old people worry about the coronavirus they're going to pass soon virus or no virus so money is the only thing that matters because that's how a lot of them control their families

Good. Let them all win Darwin Awards. My family is safely on lockdown while these geriatric narcissists roam around and infect one another.
A culling of the herd through self selection.
But its florida is like Jonestown but for trump
They should be worried about not being able to get raisin bran and prunes.
Lmao literally me. I’m on vacation watching my stocks go down
FFS.
