They numbers are pretty sobering. I don't think anybody should be trying to minimize the severity of this - there probably should be an ever-present fear factor.

The actual reality is that if you catch it, you might, or might not get really sick. If you get really sick and go to the hospital, They can't really do much for you, and you have a good chance of dying. You also have a pretty good chance of not dying. Yay?

Great off the top of the head math.
Got and had all the rest too.
Still want to know more about and from the survivors...

The latest statistics reported by floridadiaster.org show that of over 1000 people tested in Sumter County, 10 percent tested positive. That seems pretty high, and indicates to me we should have more testing done.

Stick with Rock & Roll

R&R, Your statistics 271/845,226=.03 ASSUMES that no one of the tri-county
(845,226 - 271) population would test positive???

Total Cumulative Number of people tested in SUMTER County:
4/7=1001 4/8 1013 4/9 1050 4/10 1079 4/11 1083

Bottom line: Next to Nobody is being tested!
I guess ignorance is bliss

Tell your politicians we need more testing.
