I’ve seen an uptick in cases in Sumter starting on the 29th, a week after the event. That day we had 37 cases, most of which were over age 65. Usually when Sumter reports that big of number they are younger, and tend to be cases from the correctional facility in Bushnell. Even today they reported 13 cases, which sounds low until you realize the cases reported the last few Sundays were 0 and 7. We don’t test much on Saturdays...
Hospitalizations ticked up a little, but not much. The day of the rally Sumter had 10 hospitalizations, today they have 12.
I watched closely but did not see any upticks a week after the squares opened which surprised me. So they are handling the squares pretty safely.
All of this could be a coincidence, as We are lagging the State of Florida’s numbers a bit. They started going up several days before the county did.
