In Marion County, there have been 3,127 new cases. 178 of those cases were admitted to the hospital, and less than ten resulted in death.

In Sumter County, there have been 823 new cases. 50 of those cases were admitted to the hospital, and no deaths were reported."


Note that the majority of cases and hospitalizations and all of the deaths were in Lake and Marion Counties, of which The Villages compromises an insignificant number of the population. That brings us to 823 "cases" in Sumter County---a case being a positive test without regard to whether or not the person is sick. And then to 50 admitted to a hospital---whether because of or incidental to COVID. No need to hide under your bed yet, and another example of media hysteria.

How is it media hysteria when they post the facts & data?? It’s only hysteria when people decide what they want to do with the data. Don’t blame the messenger!!
