You can keep track of it here: Experience
It is more accurate and up to date than the one that comes directly from the state health department, because it includes data that the state health department has chosen not to publicize. |
Lake county has had the most deaths. It is the largest of the three counties and only a very small part of The Villages is in Lake County.
I don't recall where, but I've seen the number of cases and deaths for all three and The Villages. Most of the recent deaths have been in long term care facilities and the prison.
With a combined population of 865,000 it seems that the number of cases, 6787 and number of deaths, 88 is extremely low Especially given the average age of the people.
The number of cases is .7% (less that one percent) of the population and the number of deaths is almost immeasurable.
It seems to me that we are doing the right things.
