Testing
How many people in the area have been tested? If not tested we cannot get an accurate number.
|
Let's do some numbers here.
Total population in Sumter County 120,999 Total tested 1,001 Lake County population 335,362 Total tested 2,191 The numbers tell the story. |
Your post is terrible and should be taken down!!!!!

Coronavirus facts
Read a report yesterday of counties infected which also brook it down into cities and towns. Wildwood had 5 deaths the villages had 17 there we’re many others. I can’t see most of my doctors in person as a lot are only do FaceTime appointments only. My primary doctors assistant told me they aren’t seeing patients at this time because they had 8 patients test positive for coronavirus and that’s why they are only doing FaceTime. I am sure the numbers are much higher than the villages want you to know even though they have taken precautions to protect us. Pretend you are safe and go about your business as usual, it’s like a casino, maybe you will be the odds maybe you won’t.

I think the major hit has just not come to us yet —let’s hope we are still doing this will over the next two weeks! |
Can you share the source that listed 27 deaths in The Villages?

IMO we will not get badly hit by Covid. Those who have extrapolated based on the rate of increase early in the pandemic are failing to take heed of the fact that those exponential increases occurred when there were open stores and not social isolation.
With those interventions it is hoped and expected that there will be a dramatic decrease in disease. The cases we are hearing reported now are people who were infected up to 4 weeks ago [2 weeks incubation, 1 week before significant symptoms, 1 week for testing to be done and entered into the database] Some are shorter, but the picture you are seeing as the numbers go up all represent pre-shutdown spread. The early cases were mostly travel related, then known contact related, now most are unknown or community spread. Do a good job and we will avoid much of the community spread that would have happened without intervention. All you nay-sayers will point to the numbers in a few months and say "see, it was all for nothing" and you'll be wrong. |

Are there any statistics particular to The Villages?
|
You can see results by county (Sumter 87) and by zip code 32162 34 cases, 32163 11 cases. Results are updated twice a day
Experience |
The real test for exposure...in my opinion....is the ratio of the number tested to the number infected. All we are hearing is the ratio of the number infected to the number who died. With a population of twenty some odd million in the state of Florida and the number of tests conducted around 50,000 (and even if this ever changing number reached to 100,000), it would seem to me that we simply do not know how many individuals are testing positive. Case in point, I had a neighbor return from a family affair via plane in early March. Both became very sick and the ambulance was called for at least two times. As of yesterday, the man who was sick as a dog and lost 20 pounds, had not been tested. The woman who was also sick as a dog and was tested....but, the results have not been forthcoming as of yet.
So, I think the only thing we can conclude in The Villages is that we may...or we may not have a massive infection rate. For me, that is unsatisfactory. I will keep up my social distancing and no matter how near and dear my friends are here, they will, for the time being be my far and dear friends! |

There haven’t been enough people tested in The Villages. Hopefully Florida will get enough test kits that we could be heavily tested. Out of everyone I know only one person has been tested. My fear is once April Stay At Home lifted everyone will rush to pools and restaurants and sunset views——this virus wont be gone. Just under better control.
My neighborhood in Summerhill has been unbelievably diligent at social distance I really appreciate them all. |
Villages virus cases low

The Villages is about 2 weeks behind reaching the apex, I believe. Don't let your guard down. Be safe.

The whole idea of social distancing is not to “make the virus go away” it’s simply to slow the spread, flatten the curve. The theory is that if everyone doesn’t get sick at once, healthcare won’t be overrun. Based on this model, people will continue to get the virus, but at a slower rate. What we don’t know yet is how many people have had the virus since 80% of those who get the virus have have little or no symptoms. Once we test a large portion of the population for both the virus and the antibodies, will we truly know the mortality rate. To date, the majority of people tested have had severe symptoms. Even then the mortality hasn’t been as high as originally thought. Especially since anyone who dies who tested positive for the virus is coded as a Coronavirus death. In fact they don’t even have to test positive. If the patient showed signs that are consistent with the Coronavirus, they are coded as virus deaths. It’s good to be safe, wash your hands, but you take the same precautions during flu season. If you are in the “at risk” category take extra precautions. But the idea that if everyone just locked themselves in their homes for two weeks, or if everyone wore masks, the virus will go away, is simply not true.

Stats
Quote:
Would you please cite the source of your stats? Thanks. |
As stated the issue is testing.. The drive through testing opened back up yesterday. It was shut down since last week due to no tests kits available. Just received a notice from the daily sun that all slots for tomorrows testing are taken and that they will resume testing when TEST KITS are available. Again, they are out of test kits after just 3 days of testing this week.
Until we get the needed amount of test kits the numbers published will continue to be inaccurate at best.. You can't tell how many are infected if you can't even test the symptomatic people. |

disappointing to see all the grandkids that have come to visit Grandma in TV lately
it's the folks from outside the bubble that have nothing else to do and don't know enough to stay away that will be TV's downfall |
The reason for quarantine is to 1. stop the spread and 2. hospitals and staff can not handle hundreds of people sick at the same time. Follow the guidelines and think about your neighbor when and if you are outside your home. This too shall pass.

I live in Maryland and have a house in TV. I live in Carroll County - pop 168,000
So far 19 dead, 162 positive in the community with 1 death. The problem lies with the Nursing Homes. Two NH have been involved. One has a population of 95 with 81 positive patients and 31 positive staff members. There have been 17 deaths at this facility. A second Home has 1 dead, 12 positive patients and 2 staff positive. Outside of the NH facilities there are 54 positives with 1 death. The breakdown of positives are 35 women and 19 men. By age 13 20-29, 6 30-39, 11 40-49, 16 50-59, 6 60-69, 1 70-79, 1 80-89. It will probably get worse before it gets better. We have been on stay at home for 2 weeks or so. BE SAFE - I wear a mask when leaving home for groceries or scripts. |
By now all churches have been on lock down and have been for weeks. Most if not all are live streaming their services. Check it out

Consider the fact that we do not have children playing with other children and going to school, bringing the diseases home with them. This being a senior community, we do not have a lot of workers going to and returning from daily jobs, also transmitting germs with them. If you think about it, we do not get the common illnesses here that many suffer over the winter months up North. Even though we have activities where we socialize with each other, we do not have the day to day close proximity working families have up North. Plus, some illnesses do not survive in warmer weather. But, I believe the primary reason we are not inundated with illnesses is because we don't have the young folks here that bring sickness home from school with them, as they do in other areas. That's just my opinion, and I am sure there are plenty of flaws to my reasoning. But, it is a thought. Remember when coworkers would come to work with the flu because they did not want to use their sick leave? Remember when parents would send sick children to school?

As I mentioned many Chinese nationals reside in and visit that area of the state of Washington. I don't know if any had been or were visiting from Wuhan before or during the time she was there. The illness she experienced was like many who have been through a bout of the virus have described. So it could have been the Wuhan or Chinese virus, COVID-19. |
Wait for it. It will come. I can’t believe the churches are holding services. I’m back in NY now and it spreads like wildfire. We were seeing a few cases here and there then all of a sudden it was everywhere. I got it and not sure how or when but I’ve been sick for 3 weeks. Had all the symptoms even loss of tastes and smell. Not back yet. Please take this seriously because it isn’t a joke.

According to today's "Happy News" paper the Polo Grounds testing facility will be shut down ON THURSDAY "until they get more testing supplies." So much for test distribution. |
