Think Twice
 
I notice that around 85-90% of the deaths from the Virus indicate the unfortunate victim had contact with a person who had had the virus! In today's reporting all 7 had been in contact with a person who had the virus. I then go by one of the Bar's in Sumter Landing and see the many who are not using 6 feet distance and don't have a mask on! Either they have not seen the statistics regarding the risks of that behavior or don't care. It may be really smart to think twice when you throw out the suggestions for control of your behavior?:ohdear:

The UK has shut down all the pubs

We have witnessed the same, no restaurants and large crowds for us. We are not afraid with wearing masks a necessary precaution. Our concern is the consistent reports of 5 people daily testing positive for COVID in The Villages. Issue being delays in getting test results in a timely manner. Contact tracing in non existent in Florida. Infected people are walking among us.
Testing numbers have gone down from 100,000 daily to near 30,000 is it that important to rush to phase 3 reopening. Play safe, stay healthy.

I believe the number is 100% have had contact with another person who is carrying the virus.

Am I missing something?

Glad to see your light bulb just came on.

I interpreted the OP's percentage as meaning direct personal contact with someone having the virus, versus getting it off of an object that an infected person touched.

Amazed
 
I am always amazed how far some will go to demonstrate their anger and negativity. I see there was a comment that "glad to see my light bulb just came on". Actually, today they reported 7 passed away and all had had some contact with a person who had the virus.
Although I have been seeing these kind of statistics for quite awhile and observed the people at bars in Sumter Landing without masks and ignoring the 6 foot distance recommendation, this I guess you could say was that famous straw that broke the Camel's back. Yep, my light bulb came on to say something and I did. I would have hoped many are also seeing this problem and making some comment rather than letting others mention it and critiizing them?.

IMO let’s Face it, most people think they are bullet proof And it won’t affect them, especially younger adults. Some just can’t separate or stay apart. I see private gathering all over. What part do they NOT get? keep you’re distance from people you don’t know where they been or who they had contact with. I see plane’s coming in daily, do you really think they are isolating themselves. The cycle going to be hard to break.

IMO I think it’s very hard (not impossible, but hard) to get It off something ( especially outdoors) unless you’re licking you’re finger’s all the time and not washing you’re hands. IMO it’s airborne and you walk through it or it’s gets directed you’re way and you inhale it. IMO when somebody coughs or sneezes 6 feet not going to be enough.

100%
 
Since it's communicable. Any less is like saying, "95% of putts left short usually don't go in."
