We are looking at an average age of 65+ for Sumter County (80% of Sumter County lives in The Villages). The sample size is small but we do know that age is a factor. If you are tested positive, I suspect you will have issues. I think the national and state averages are misleading unless age is factored in. I don't believe numbers from other countries are useful since their counting of deaths from coronavirus is different than ours. However, I suspect you are correct in your hypothesis.

Somebody disagreed. He's one of the good guys, just wrong this time.
