This chart lists per 1 million people. You can extrapolate down from there..
United States Coronavirus: 738,830 Cases and 39,014 Deaths - Worldometer

Since it takes a few weeks to die, the correct mortality rate is the # of deaths today divided by the number of cases 2-3 weeks ago.

Any chance this is due to a change in reporting from COVID confirmed (by test) to COVID suspected?

I asked a Sumter county epidemiologist about what is being counted. Only people with positive tests. That is both for test patients and deaths. So these 24 are new positive tests on living people as the death number did not change. Yet.

None of this quarantining matters to our health. It's only in place to reduce the burden on the hospitals. Just because restrictions are eased up, you are not a bit safer than before. There also seems to be misconceptions about testing. Testing negative does not mean you are immune. It means you don't have the virus today. You may get it tomorrow or next week. You're not safe. No one is safe until a vaccine or cure is developed and that doesn't seem to be on the horizon. If you want to protect yourself, stay home or continue social distancing.

Thank you!!!
 

Thank you for your comment! That was oh so funny!!

Something is wrong with my calculator!!!!! When I divide 68 by 128,000 it says .00053125!!!!

Infection rate is low, but mortality rate
 

highest % in the country. Thankfully the numbers are low and we need to keep it that way.

True. Stanford test showed how many people had been exposed to the virus and developed antibodies -- whether or not they got "sick" and have now recovered. The point of the OP was "is there going to be a breakout of illness in The Villages due to the reported 68 cases coupled with asymptomatic people who could spread the disease?" The UF study showed that the number of asymptomatic people who are actually carrying the virus is very small: one tenth of one percent. This suggests Villagers are doing a good job sheltering in place so we are likely to avoid a widespread breakout of COVID-19.

Thank you

Provided they didn’t come into contact with any of the people who weren’t careful and didn’t come into contact with any of the people infected by the people who weren’t careful

I agree. I’d rather be safe for a few weeks and enjoy the rest of my life

Really? Where is your proof?

You bet. NYers should not come here. They are bringing chaos.

Which Test?
 

Yes, but which test did UF Health use? The commonly available one gives a false negative to 30% of those who take it but are actually positive. Only about 3 days ago did a fairly accurate test become available, and I do not think - though I could be wrong - that UFHealth has that test. The earlier versions usefulness was that if it said you were positive, you almost always were. However, if it said you were negative, that was not too reassuring, since if you actually had CV, there was a 30% chance the test would miss it.

Miniscule. Not statistically relevant, except to village haters....the same ones that say we are riddled STDs due to promiscuous sex in the squares.

I caught that, too. I remember going to Brownwood on March 4th, and the squares were closed the next day. Remember the date because it is the last billing for the Bar Hut!

Another benefit of flattening the curve ~ at least I hope ~ is to give docs more time to understand this disease. When we first started, ventilators were everything. Now the shift is focusing to blood disturbances causing lung problems.

Those of us who get sick later may have better outcomes because knowledge has grown.

That was really funny lol

I found the article to be accurate. There was an estate sale conducted during on March 26th. And the writer mentioned the various precautions being taken.

no it is .053%

It must be an epidemic! My calculator gave me the same result!!! Should we quarantine the infected calculators, or imprison the uninfected ones? :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

They are counted. The following numbers are taken from the WHO at Worldometers.info.

Current US cases: 740,928
Of those 107,683 have had an outcome
Recovered: 68,599
Died: 39,084

The global numbers are similar in percentages.

Covid-19 update for TV
 

It's been stated that there are 68 confirmed cases in TV. How many deaths? Does anyone know the status of The Villages Hospital? Do they have respirators? How many Covid19 patients are there? I heard that they have the entire 2nd floor ready for them is needed.

Do you want to be among that small percent. I DON"T

With a little effort you can find your answers here.
COVID-19 Updates >> UF Health >> University of Florida

It's nice to hear that they have the entire second dedicated to COVID-19 patients if needed.
I'd be interested to know if the Village Hospital has respirators.

Unfortunately, another fairly new development with some patients fighting this virus is also kidney damage/failure. :( :( :(

Everyone is ready to condem The Villages, but the truth is that for a community this size with a high risk population, we have had few cases compared to other places in the world. Go pick on NY for waiting too long to stop the gathering activities.

I know of a neighborhood whose residents go in each others' houses & rider in cars. Virus slows down in summer & will be reevoked this winter.

Virus Statistics in The Villages
 

Based on newspaper articles, I have had a number of friends invite me to come up north to stay with them and "be safer."

Let me say that the statistics of infections and deaths in The Villages area are not as bad as the numbers can be made to seem. There is no question that because of the older average age, the "rate of deaths per case" is higher than most other areas. 11 deaths out of 114 cases is 9.6% which is very high compared to many areas.

The positive view of the numbers come from looking at the infection rates in total. Think about it. Out of 120,000 people, only 114 have been infected. That's .09%, only one in 1,111. The overall Florida average is 22,082 out of 20,598,139. That's one out of every 935. The infection rate in The Villages is less than the rate for the entire state.

So yes, catching the virus in The Villages is, on average, more dangerous than in other areas, because of the average age. However, the risk of catching it is less than the average for the state.

I am as safe here as anywhere, as being somewhere else wouldn't change my age.

That headline reads as if the author is hoping for a crisis here. Poor writing or bias?

Waiting? Knowing my neighbors, it might be a long wait;

The pictures I saw did NOT show the people in clusters.

And the taxpayer paid that police officer for his time. Also the cruiser cost and the gas.

Virus Recovery Count
 

There is a site that updates constantly. You can find the recoveries there. And so much more. I was flagged for spam when I put the link in the msg but you can see it on top of the picture.

That does show recoveries if they are reported. On the Bing file that shows they same information it shows NO recoveries in Florida. We know that is not true, the Sun reported 66 recoveries in Sumter County as of last week.

I know I feel much more positive when they report recoveries or active cases. The day they reported the 66 recoveries in the Sun they reported 110 cases in Sumter, so only 44 active cases. Doesn’t that sound much more hopeful.

just stating what i see in the msm. Ct. still has a higher number of infections/deaths compared to this huge state. i'm keeping it in perspective & watching all the misinformation being passed off as news, while fending off the 'fun police' who think i should be indoors @ all times until i get the free & clear from political op's. i am rarely intimidated, esp by those who think they know best

i was told they used STOCK FOOTAGE for that news report

Evidently you haven’t been on Tennis court 120 by 120 feet. That would maybe be one or half of one.

So says golfer
