Personally, it is my belief that the reason we do not have more infected by the virus is the lack of school age kids in The Villages. Yes, it does seem like we live in a "bubble" doesn't it? I feel that way also.. But, if you think about it we have less contagious illnesses here than in other parts of the country, that extends year round. It's not just this virus, but the flu, colds, etc. School children interact with contagious children and bring it home. Less children, less chance of infection. Thus, the feeling that we are protected. Same goes with crime. Less adolescent children, less juvenile delinquents and crime.
This is just my opinion, not science and not based on any factual studies.
