Way too small a sampling size----just the fact that Sumter County is 8% and the national average is like 2% makes it an outlier.

Only 1001 people tested in Sumter with 84 positive and 900 negative

So the death rate is 8% of 8% of those tested, = 0.64%. PLUS, many of those tested received the test because of symptoms, so the cohort was pre-selected. The rest were asymptomatic and part of the UF study.
