I would really encourage people to go to the website worldometers.info. Look for the US Coronavirus page and click on Florida. That will give you a wealth of facts on cases here in Florida.

One chart is the daily cases going back to the beginning. It show a rising trend through summer that peaks at over 15,000 cases in July. The numbers trend down through August and into September and were consistently below 5,000 cases a day. Over the past 10 days two days have been over 5,000. So we may be beginning to see an upward trend but it is really too early to know for sure. However, we are nowhere near where we were in July.

Another interesting chart is the number of active cases in Florida. These peaked in August at over 500,000. Active cases are now around 200,000. Same trend with deaths, peaking and on a downward trend.

I hope you will look at these charts and make your own mind up about the current risk and what precautions you should take. Don’t take others opinions, look at data and make your own call on what to do.

I have never been more disappointed in any one person in my life. Just saying.

Actually, this thread belongs in the NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS forum. Seems there is very little activity in that forum because most of news and current events is a forbidden subject.

Here's some more awesome news: if you're the lucky fella who gets to catch COVID and NOT die, you're most likely to spend the rest of whatever months or years you have left, having trouble breathing, and going in and out of hospitals for heart failure. I'm totally excited to hear about that. I'll lift a glass in your honor tomorrow.

The only person that I know who had Covid is our Commander in Chief and he seems to be doing just fine for a 74 year old somewhat out of shape male. This is not political he's the only person I can speak for regarding his recovery.

Possibly because his brain was already debilitated before his supposed illness.

Knowledge is power! Knowledge should not be hidden. Taking important knowledge from 1st page to Section 2 A5 and then Section 2 A8 was the original point and nothing more or nothing less. It makes "Knowledge" just a little more difficult to find and inform the Residents. These are not arguable as they are facts. Using the excuse the critical medical facts are ALSO available elsewhere does not answer the question as to why not inform the residents if that is the purpose of publishing a newspaper which is suppose to be a source of current news and the threat of the spread of Covid-19 is critical news?

Let's not forget, he had the benefit of therapeutics not available to the general public. Very glad he responded well to the state of the art treatment he had.

I'm told we've "turned the corner on the virus". I've heard this several times over the last 6 months. We've turned the corner so many times that we're just going in circles now. Daily infection numbers are now over 1 new case per second. I hope this ride ends soon because these corners are getting worse not better. Time for someone to take the wheel and get us on the road with far fewer corners.

It appears that maybe making it more difficult to find the numbers will keep more unaware including current residents of the risks in the Villages. Where the heck are our values??

Have been the "eternal optimist" all my life, but unfortunately, I think the changing of the location of these "facts about Covid cases, admissions, and deaths" only mimics the lack of consideration for anything but profit anymore. Maybe I am finally becoming cynical ? But sure seems like the only "ethics" considered is how it will effect bottom line profit. Are these number printed in the Daily Sun "news" paper ? I didn't see them in there at all, have to look closer I guess.... The on line paper called ************** is very confusing. It will have headline such as DEADLY virus takes toll on Villages again; then when you read it it seem more like the National Inquirer of "journalism", it lists all three counties and then when it breaks it down to how many in the Sumter county prison, the jails, the surrounding towns, you really have NO idea what the situation is IN the Villages and in the Villages Hospital ?
