I am convinced that most Villagers are taking Covid-19 very seriously. I watch the numbers of new cases and of deaths carefully in Sumter County where most of The Villages is.
We have not had a death in Sumter County for six days now and the new cases are in the teens. I was very surprised that we didn't have a spike after the large political gathering for the President a couple of weeks ago. I still along with our daughter have remained home and for the very few times I have gone out have been very careful, wearing a mask and using hand sanitizer. My husband goes out to play golf but continues to drive alone in the cart and stay distanced from his playing partners.
I think what we do is mattering, but there must be a lot of power in sunshine to keep the virus from spreading. I still am very glad we will soon have a vaccine.
Here are the numbers today for Sumter County;
