[QUOTE=yankygrl;1802230]I personally think that the % of those with the virus (positive tests) versus the number tested is what we should be looking at. Yes the number of deaths should also be %. I think we were at 5% prior to July 4th, then a surge and now the number is more like 12 - 15% of new positive cases. Still it is effecting mostly those UNDER 40.[/

so it's affecting mostly those under 40. you mean the people who wait on us at Publix, or restaurants or any number of different places? so we don't have to worry about catching it from them? again, I say if there was no worry, then The Villages would be allowing more activities. they are not! they know what a disaster it would be if this becomes a hot spot. then you can quibble all you want about whether the death numbers are accurate because the two local hospitals will be over run with very sick covid patients. make no mistake, that is a major fear of the powers that be.
