You had better read PoliticoFlorida's reporting as of last night, March 27. Now five confirmed cases in TV, per the Fla. Dept. of Health in Sumter County. 29 in Sumter County; 24 in Lake; 8 in Marion. The numbers will grow!

The "content editor" of that article should go back to journalism school. First rule: Check your data and check again! And never post fake news.

The ************** and Politico are also reporting the same info. It could be a disconnect between Sumter County Health statistics and Florida State statistics.

There were two arms to the testing. One for people referred by a physician because they had symptoms, and the second is a RESEARCH STUDY for people without symptoms. The UF medical school is doing this to try to find out more about the actual disease and hopefully find a cure. My husband and I went for the RESEARCH STUDY and I tested negative, we are still waiting for my husband's results. Hope this explains it.

The Florida Department of Health statistics confirm the data posted. You should check YOUR sources, and enough of the snarkiness.

Only????
Just the Daily Sun would use the word "only" in regard find finding 8 positive cases in the Villages in just 2 days of limited testing. There is nothing encouraging about this statistic. Currently Sumter County (which is mostly The Villages) has the 3rd highest rate of infection in Florida (only trailing Broward and Miami-Dade).
As of the March 27, The Florida Department of Health reported 27 cases in The VIllages. The numbers in Florida are growing rapidly every day and unless we take seriously the warning to stay at home and avoid unnecessary travel, things are not going to be Daily Sun Pollyanna much longer. Want facts.... Home | Florida Department of Health COVID-19 Outbreak will take you to the Florida Department of Health page with a wealth of data and statistics. |

I am encouraged that for those with symptoms we are only at 6%. Yes, as we test more we will find more cases. Yes, we should follow CDC guidelines of social distancing and staying healthy with reasonable exercise no closer than 6 ft from others. No, we should not be licking doorknobs and hugging strangers. |

Note that I was referring to “rate of infection” which is the number of cases as it relates to population. Sumter County has a far greater number of cases for the size of our county than every other county, except Broward and Miami-Dade.
