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.
The virus has only existed since March. So that's 4 months. During half of it, there were snowbirders here. The snowbirders have since returned to their winter homes.

That "combined population" - does it include snowbirders who aren't even in the state anymore?
