I am a snowbird and up north and since July have been in my summer home in a very rural area. The population density here is 20 people per sq. mile. Bear in mind The Villages is over 4000 people per sq. mile. We have had 70 positive cases of covid19 from Jan to Oct (avg 7 per month)in the entire county. Never see a person in a store without a mask on or any large social gatherings. Bars are closed. We had a baptism at a local church Oct 11 attended by 50 - 75 people. Our covid19 positive count has increased to 112 (an increase of 42 in two weeks) with a forecast of 15 more in the next few days with all of the cases linked to attendance at the baptism. I shudder when I see pictures of people deliberately attending events like yesterday in TV with no social distancing for long periods of time. What sense does that make ? Usually I would be back in TV by now. I am dragging my feet and watching the TV hospitalization rate / bed availability rate for the next month.
