These rates are per 100,000 population and reflect syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia: National rate: 566.9 Florida rate 538.0 Marion County 520.1 Lake County 377.1 Sumter County 277.9 Now for age adjustment: statewide over 55: GC: 313/19,555 cases chlamydia: 411/77,851 syphilis: 78/1,375 So, if we assume 85% of TV population at peak season of 120,000 there would be 100,000 residents over 55. Florida has close to 20 million residents, about 30% over 55 = 6 million. Therefore about 1/60 of Florida's 55+ population lives in TV. If we evenly distribute the above 55+ cases across the state, we get expected STD cases in TV/year of: GC: 5.2 cases chlamydia: 6.8 cases syphilis: 1.2 cases And even these numbers are skewed a bit high since not all 55+ residents of these 3 counties live in TV Hardly epidemic proportions, as you can see your chances (randomly) of contracting a STD is about 1% of the national average. Personal behavior will influence your individual odds I wish the facts would put the rumor to bed, but we all know it will not happen |

If more people would just vote for Hillary, then …. On second thought, let’s not let the facts get in the way.

We try to move the conversation away from politics whenever possible as we are under the impression that most here are very way to the right. Maybe it is those who are very vocal happen to be republicans. Not that all are republicans or that all republicans are real vocal.
Maybe that isn't so but it is the impression one gets. The media didn't help as I saw a rally for the republicans I think it was during the last presidential in the villages reported on the network news. The narration was "Seniors rally behind their candidate in central Florida."

Quite different from my 10 days or so at Brigham Young U's Law School in 1982. It would have been the opposite. But again there would have been more Democrats hiding in the shadows. |

Redwitch, I agree completely with every word you said. I moved here from Pinehurst, NC (a predominantly Republican stronghold). Never in my 20 years there did I hear anything even close to the derogatory comments that I hear regularly in The Villages. I don't like to discuss politics, but if I even hint that I am a liberal Democrat, I have had very mean words directed at me.
