Would like to know the most current death rates Does not seem like hospitals lately are flooded with patients and nobody is screaming for more ventilators

Bingo. Those are the numbers that are hard to get.
I watch the hospital availability site. As of today, Sumter county has 347 hospital beds and 124 of them are available.

Our grands who work in the news industry are both worried about us and I tell them that living here in The Villages is really hard to explain. This place attracted a lot of responsible and hard working folks who want to live a bit more, even those of us who are old-ER.

Here is todays data from Sumter County and Florida. They have been testing a lot.

Our kids and grandkids also worry about us but we just go out to go food shopping and to neighborhood pools and walks about neighborhood so we feel safe.

Thanks for info you sent but would be interesting to see the current death rate now there are some better treatments and the virus must not be as deadly right now.

Original thread specifies 25 new cases in TV - think maybe a majority of those 25 are in the dangerous age and conditions group?

Cannot confirm this data
 

ICU Beds is the number I watch right now; to see if I can determine what is/going to happen. Based on that I’l make future decision as needed. Right now - nothing needed. Happy on the ride for now...

Clickorlando.com has ICU figures although I cannot say if data is accurate. I just keep watching, tuning out a lot now proving not to know what’s really happening, to figure it out for myself. Without more real answers I can actually trust from a-n-y-o-n-e, and with a risk-factor myself, I’m staying in, and away, until “I“ figure it out For myself. Until then, I’m not really missing that much, not really. What I really miss - hugs. Stay safe, away from the spread If there is any folks

They do not report the recovered stat. The number of positives, negatives, deaths, is a cumulative number since March 1st. One can safely assume that if you didn't die, you recovered. Example, of the 39,379 tests conducted in Lake County, only 2,087 tested positive, a 5.2% rate. Of those, 25 people died or 1.2%. Everybody else recovered. And the more testing, the lower that death rate will become. If you compare to the total population tested, the death rate is .06%

All I can say is WOW, just WOW

You don't trust Fauci, you don't trust Birx, you don't trust the CDC or the state health dept., all with a vast knowledge of epidemiology and virology. Instead, you are going to "figure it out for yourself".. Good luck with that, post again in 25 years and let us know how you are doing.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Article is very misleading. For statistic purpose they consider All of Sumter county as "The Villages". I have wrote to them about it, but as usual they do not respond.

The True Village count is a mystery?????

Florida has a death rate of 18 per 100,000 people and states like New York and New Jersey have a death rates of 172 and 166 respectively. Stop listening to Fauci!

Unless a lot more people die. The death rates from the latest "spike" won't be seen for a couple weeks. God willing it will remain low. What no one is talking about is the number of cases in FL (not as bad here in the bubble) have increased 10x over the worse part of the pandemic back in March/April.

Death rates have greatly improved as they learn more how to treat the virus however they are finding more and more "after recovery" issues like permanently damaged lungs and kidneys. I guess that is better than death but still .........

My biggest worry is those who are asymptomatic and are running around without masks. While they are practicing their right of "freedom from tyranny of mask wearing" they could get me or my wife sick, and no, I don't want to stay home because of those covidiots and ME wearing a mask won't help as much as Mr Asymptomatic running around without one covering his/her upper orifices. No one seems to understand the selfishness of that little inconvenience.

The count of COVID cases in The Villages, Sumter County for the last 7 days is: 117, 121, 125, 127, 133, 157, 180 (today 7/8). The Villages, Lake County for the last 7 days is: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12.
This can be found on the Florida Health, Florida COVID-19 Response website. You have to drill down to find the specific city numbers.

In the meantime, a lot more people will be tested so it could be a zero sum game.

Yes people get better, some have no symptoms. Return to work, and continue to survive. I am in contact with more than a dozen who have tested +, and now have returned to the living.
You need to test negative twice, sometimes it took weeks to finally get 2 negatives.

One wonders if the multiple testing on one person is counting as one positive, or each time a person tests positive is counted as new case. Just a thought that probably no one has the answer, including me.

Before you freak out I left my family, and I Am NOT in Florida

Lots of speculation no real answers, will be interesting to see how the new cases make out.
