COVID Case Update
 

As most Villagers know, The Villages spans through three different counties. Here are the number of new COVID cases as of Aug. 10, according to the CDC website. In Lake County, there have been about 310 new cases over the last week. About 17 of those cases were admitted to the hospital, and about 4

I'm sick of hearing about death it's kind of a definitive state either your dead or about dead?

This report does not restore any of my recently lost confidence in the CDC. Did they really say, "about 17" and "about 4"? Don't they know?

Maybe

The CDC gives defined death for Marion and Lake counties every report that comes from the online rag always state ABOUT very poor reporting.

Please stop. Find a hobby.

Exactly my thoughts ! Really now, about ---- cases, about ---- deaths, how can you have "about" 4 deaths, or "about" 12 deaths ? Does that mean one or more are only "partly" dead ? Is that like being "slightly pregnant" ? ! You'd think by now, with all the shots and all the boosting going on in this community, there would never be another death ! (FROM covid that is)

I don't think cases reporting can be adequate nowadays since we all have at home rapid tests readily available. Everyone I know that got the latest strain this summer never reported it, there was nowhere to report it! Maybe we should stop talking about it?

Numbers not accurate
 

I believe the reported numbers are significantly low. My wife and I tested positive (home test) within the last 6 weeks and “health officials” never learned of it. Just a bad cold equivalent, but still multiple positive tests.

Home Covid test kits
 

I was told by an immediate care center nurse even though I home tested and was negative for Covid , the tests kits are 50% reliable . So I was retested by them and also negative. Didn’t our government spend billions on these home tests kits ?

Doom and gloom.

True.

Some folks can't get enough if it.

B-o-r-i-n-g

Love it!!!! agreed.

We were told that the emergency rooms are using the same test as the home test….who knows
Must test fail because of the person doing the test not the test it’s self

Thanks for posting. There seems to be an uptick over what there was a couple months ago.

Because some of them died with covid instead of from covid. But it adds to the numbers and makes them happy

I would say that there might be an uptick as both my wife and I have it and still test positive (home test) for it today although feeling much better. Several friend also currently have it in the Villages. For us, it was like a bad cold. Thought I would never get it. Well, it is still out there to get.
