In Newsbreak for today, I found a list of Fl. cities for CV. heading the list at 31,633 total cases/ 100,000 is the Miami area. The Villages is listed last out of about 40 at about 1/2 the cases or 14064/100,000 people. THAT is good! BUT, BIG BUT......The Villages is HIGHER than 50% of the cities for total DEATHS /100,000 at 14,064. Please check that out for yourself.
......The most likely reason for the LARGER rate of deaths than cases for The Villages in the Fl list IS that Villagers are an
OLDER population than other Fl cities. (our Hospitals can NOT be THAT bad).
