Is this fact or fiction.
We're very concerned what are the facts about this?

In a way you've answered your own question when you said "highest std
numbers." We are also the largest retirement community in the U.S. and possibly in the world, so likely we DO have the "highest std numbers."
Anyone can make statistics 'work' in any way to make a point. As pointed out earlier, when the number of cases increases from 2 to 4, that is a 100% increase!
The author of
Leisureville, in focusing on Mr. Midnight and Wendy and completely ignoring the Civil War Roundtable, the Foreign Film Club, so many art groups, the volunteers at Cornerstone Hospice, and on and on, makes his prejudice against and even envy about TV obvious. Same with the
Orlando Sentinel. Why give credence to not just negativity but outright distortion?
