Actually if you are interested in accurate stats, you need to evaluate the deaths per number found with positive tests. Sumter county currently has the highest death rate per positive tests in the state of FL. Your comparison makes no sense because you have no way to measure how many people in that 100,000 actually test positive and that is the only scientific measurement that has any meaning. With your comparison, only 3 in FL per 100,000 have been tested so a death rate of 3 equals a 100% death rate.
Until this incompetent government ramps up testing, there is no way to fix the problem. There are already 2 assisted living facilities in The Villages that have the virus according to the governor's information.
