I agree that looking just at the Sumter County cases is misleading because they include over 100 inmates in Bushnell.
As the original poster said, we’ve had a recent spike in TV. The Department’s “state report“ showed our TV cases had been stuck for a month at 62 in TV in Sumter and 7 in TV in Lake (Pine Ridge etc.). In the past few days, we’ve jumped up to 68 in TV in Sumter and 9 in TV in Lake. We still have a very low percentage of cases in a TV population of over 120,000, but the TV spike worries me. Statewide cases are spiking too.
Google “Fl coronavirus”:and you can find the FL Department of Public Health’s COVID 19 site. Lots of good info there, including testing numbers. This FL site was praised at one of the White House briefings.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who reads the facts in detail on the FL Dept of Health website which provides elaborate detail regarding positive cases, testing stats, by county, by city etc.( I didn't make these numbers up as Kim points out). I agree you can read anything you want into numbers and some are more significant or meaningful than others but the facts are we now have 8 positives in the Villages in the past week or so after a month of no changes. It may be coincidental with the reopening and I certainly hope so because I want to resume some normal activities also. I also thank those who suggested I should stay home if I am worried. I never thought of that!
