Care must be used when trying to reach conclusions based on the limited reported statistics. Based on the UF testing, the numbers reported in the paper this morning were 8 out of 420 symptomatic people tested positive and 0 out of 600 asymptomatic people tested positive. Trying to reach any conclusions on how many actual positives are in The Villages from that limited set of data is probably not worthwhile unless it can be shown that the small number of people tested are representative of The Villages population overall.
