Approx. 52,000 Villager residents in Sumter Co. There have been 8 or 9 reported deaths attributed to the virus. The death to positive tests is low. There is all kinds of testing areas in and around the Villages. The tests performed have been ramped up and hundreds or even thousands have been tested, just in the Villages area. So, considering the amount of tests and that only positives have been reported, the death ratio is very low.
It is hard to find data on just the Villages area when it comes to deaths, but the media sure enjoys putting out sensational headlines about how COVID 19 is "exploding, surging, overwhelming, etc." the Villages. I would like to see stats on the ratio of positive tests to negative tests. I would also like to see the stats on how many are hospitalized due solely to the virus. I bet there will be someone on here that will produce that information.
If you figure just the percentage of deaths to population of just the Sumter co. portion of the Villages it would be something like 8 or 9 divided by Approx. 52,000 residents (give or take a hundred or so). I believe that comes out to less than 2 one hundredths of a percent, if I am not wrong.
