But, it don’t guarantee truth, only opinions in most cases.

8 to 12 people a day die in the villages every day from long/short illnesses, accidents, etc. It's called the circle of life.

If there is a surge it will be because a lot of people are coming here from NY and other States renting following the normal migration of snow birds back North. Have you not noticed the increase in the number of NY tags in the last two weeks. You think those people are staying in their rental houses for two weeks before going to the grocery store.

Stop posting rational comments.

Fearmongering is better

Interesting comparison of NY vs Florida Covid-19 numbers
 

My daughter is a Nurse Practicioner who oversees healthcare for the elderly in nursing homes in NY. She believes that the Florida numbers of Covid-19 cases are significantly lower than New York's (even after excluding NYC) because the more elderly population in Florida is wiser and more responsible than the younger generation who don't practice the mitigation guidelines for whatever reasons. ( 75% of Florida cases are under age 65). Interesting perspective. Everyone has an opinion but the facts are as follows as of April 20:

Florida Population: 21,646,155 Cases: 27,058 Deaths: 823


New York Population: 19,491,339. Cases: 242,786. Deaths: 13,869


Knowing NYC is the big hotspot, I isolated these numbers. Here are the results:


NYC Population: 8,770,000 Cases: 136,806 Deaths: 10,344

Non-NYC Population: 10,721,339. Cases: 105,980 Deaths: 3.525


I didn't remove the Florida hotspots Miami, Ft Lauderdale, etc. but as you can see the Florida cases are significantly lower than NY with or without NYC. Florida's number would be 10 times higher with NY's ratio of cases per population. Now I can see why reopening should be significantly different state by state.

This analysis shows what happens when you take a retired numbers guy and put him in lockdown with two females in Florida for 6 weeks.

I'm sure the headline was written first, then the story was developed to ring true to the headline. Perhaps the "author" never stepped foot in The Villages, judging by the stock photos. Actually, the story around here is pretty boring compared to NYC.

Huh? 120 * 120 = 14400 sq ft. Per Wikipedia a singles tennis court is 78 feet by 27 feet. or 2106 sq ft. You were only off by 680% in your sq. ft.

The average golf green for the PGA tour is 6500 sq ft

So you can fit 3 tennis courts [several] onto a standard size green. Google and a paper and pencil next time please.

I used to know how to do the calculation but.....if the decimal is moved one to the right, the percentage is .04%. Is that correct?

Another treatment (which is not new but has shown to benefit Covid patients in the end stages) is to place the patient in the prone position (face down) for at least 16 hours a day. This is not comfortable but can save lives.This position helps people who are not in the late stages of the disease too. For some reason, the prone position opens up certain parts of the lungs to facilitate breathing easier.

The developer wants to continue the revenue stream from golf, so he/she has modified the protocols to encourage safe practices, as follow; plastic cylinders in the cups prevent touching of the pins, removal of the rakes from the sand traps prevents multiple touching, solo use of golf carts(other than by household members) is required, use of cash payments is prohibited, waiting for tee times occurs in parking lots, and groups are forbidden from gathering after play. I feel safer on the course yhan when I go to the grocery stores where there is little or no monitoring of their safety protocols.

This was NOT stock footage. The photos were taken on April 14th in the afternoon. The photographer is based out of St. Petersburg FL.

Not really. Everyone was practicing social distancing.....

Since then , we’ve found a couple of other places to go have lunch SAFELY , but I won’t tell you where they are .....for all I know , you may be one of the tree huggers I mentioned in that previous post ! LOL 😂

Haven't been out of the house enough to notice!

Also not clever enough to keep a mental count of the average number of NY plates week to week.
