They get their data directly from the Florida Department of Health and these are the numbers DOH is reporting. Don't shoot the messenger!

As another poster mentioned you can look up cases by area code. 32162 is for the villages in Marion County. CDD4 encompasses the homes up here and there are about 5,000 rooftops (homes) in CDD4.

Besides the possibility of Death & The Villages, what do they have in common? Has the Tracking Program been terminated?

I don’t understand why more positive COVID results is always a bad thing? When my sister called me and told me she tested positive - I was envious. She had no symptoms (in her 60s, watches what she eats and stays very active) ....then, when she called and told me her test came back positive for antibodies - again, I was envious. Her family (husband and son - home from college) also tested positive - no symptoms. I realize there are people who are vulnerable and a positive test result may be a very bad thing - a death sentence - and, yes, I have personally experienced similar loss. In Nov 2009 - in the middle of H1N1 outbreak - my mom - suffering from something else quickly passed when her system was stressed by H1N1 - but her death certificate did not list H1N1 as the cause of her death - death was due to heart failure. Today, maybe because of politics - there is a spotlight on Covid - when, in fact, battling viruses has always been (and will continue to be) a fight for many. I am more worried about the viruses I was exposed to decades ago..... sure testing positive w/Covid - can be scary and may result in some serious conditions (and death) - but for MANY/MOST - there are no or very slight symptoms. There are many viruses that are out there (may already be a threat to you & those you love) that will *never go away once you are diagnosed with them*! Those are the ones I fear. Take care of yourself - do not indulge, take care of the body you have been blessed with, take precautions to avoid threats from all type of viruses that have always been out there (and will always be out there). If I had a choice of a virus to get - believe me - Covid would be at the top of my list. I’d trade an hiv, hpv, hsv positive —— any day for a Covid positive!

Nothing new. We are in a state of panic. Rumors take on a life of their own. It is normal.

In terms of valid statistics, number of cases compared to whatever time we choose to put in. The statistics have yet to be properly collected and likely never will be.

Don't hear anything about tracking any more; here or nationally ! Anyone remember back to late last summer when they were manically recruiting "trackers" everywhere in nearly every city and state.... not heard much after that ! ?

I read that no one was prepared to cooperate with the trackers, so it probably died of natural causes.
