Several people have referenced an article in the WSJ regarding the coming surge of Covid-19 cases in the villages, so I decided to post a daily update on the surge. Since there is no separate reporting for the Villages specifically, I decided to combine the numbers from the 3 counties that include portions of the villages, as reported by the Daily Sun. It's not perfect, but its a pretty good representation of the overall trends in our part of central Florida.
4/24/20 update:
Tri county area:
Total cases: 528, up 18 or 3.5%
Total fatalities: 24 up 3 or 12.5%
Sumter county:
Total cases: 166, up 2 or 1.2%
Fatalities: 12 up 1or 8.3% This is the first fatality we have in over a week.
It looks like most of the new cases were in Marion County, which accounted for 15 of the 18 new cases.
Someone mentioned sorting the new cases in Sumter county by age. John's Hopkins does a pretty good job of breaking out the fatalities by cohort (thanks to my wife for doing the research), and as near as I can tell 11 of the 12 fatalities were in the 80+ age group. One victim was 60 years old, but did not specify if she had any pre-existing conditions.
Stay safe and be reasonable
