The median age of new cases for last 3 days is 40, 28, and 45. What's that mean? Villagers are being very careful and don't need the panic pushers unsolicited advice.

I'm already an expert, I told you to google it so you could be better informed about normal hospital occupancy rates without a pandemic.

If media wants a story about hospitals being overrun they call up the very busiest ones and get the quotes they want for the story. They could easily access the same data I linked in this thread but that is not the story they want to tell.

Fake news, she was fired for being incompetent.

The hospital stats I posted are from an entirely different Florida State website.

Unfortunately, talking out on such a forum could cost many of us our jobs. If we all could talk without fear of repercussions, you would be amazed at the reality of the situation. Numbers are numbers and can be spun in many different ways. The reality and truth lies with those who live in the environment on a daily basis.

That has been the problem since day one with our a President and our governor. Is it comforting to know that an ICU bed is available? I guess, but more important what is the game plan to stop the spread so we don’t need the ICU bed?? Florida has significant issues and something has to be done. The Villages is not a protective bubble..... I know three people who have had it or have it. People are coming here to get away from it in South Florida. Just met a couple on the golf course that got a cheap summer rental to escape it. Our numbers do not even support being in Phase 2. It only takes a few to start a major spread as evidenced in house parties, bars etc.
Considering our demographics and that many people over 65 have or have had medical issues, I think we should each manage our risk and the risk to others.

It's a State agency. I trust them much more than reporters with an agenda.

Not as “I see it”. As i live it in my daily work life. And, i am not anonymous here or any other form of social media. Unfortunately, because of family health issues i need my job and more importantly my health ins. So, i have a lot to lose and very little to gain.

All your problems with data will soon be solved.

"Coronavirus hospital data will now be sent to current administration instead of the CDC."
"......the new database receiving the data will not be available to the public, and most importantly researchers and others......."

So look for improvements in all areas of reporting.
