Even today they reported 13 cases, which sounds low until you realize the cases reported the last few Sundays were 0 and 7. We don’t test much on Saturdays...

Hospitalizations ticked up a little, but not much. The day of the rally Sumter had 10 hospitalizations, today they have 12.

I watched closely but did not see any upticks a week after the squares opened which surprised me. So they are handling the squares pretty safely.

All of this could be a coincidence, as We are lagging the State of Florida’s numbers a bit. They started going up several days before the county did.

Unless you can tell how many of those "increases" attended the rally, your numbers are meaningless.

You are correct. Can anyone post the data for just the Villages if it exists? And let us know where we can track the Villages' statistics daily. Thanks.

Media gets an Oscar for working the crowd. It will work it’s way through the population of the world, like it or not, even in remote areas, it is showing up. Luckily, they know more about it and how to treat it. Vaccine will not be very effective in the near future, so, if you plan to hibernate, it will be a looooooong time before you can dance in the squares. More room for the rest of us!

What I can't get over is criticizing the President's rallys and calling them super spreaders, but yet no one mentions the hundreds of people rioting and looting in groups. That's ok? As far as the squares go, if you have underlying conditions and are leery, stay home. The scientists say outside and social distancing are ok. If you take the proper precautions, go live your life.

Bottom line, official numbers for Florida on 11-2-2020 do the math, 307,000 cases, 16,700 deaths. 2% Death rate and dropping. Dear God people, vaccine or no vaccine just use common sense. If you feel nervous or frightened because of your health then stay home. For those of us who are not frightened or nervous we are going on with our lives. I won’t criticize you and I would hope you wouldn’t judge me. Life is a risk. I’m ready to move on and return activities as they were. I’ll see everyone at the square and the pools and will not hesitate to shake your hand.

I really don't care about test results, hospitals overflowing around the world due to COVID cases is another story.

But, they may spread it to someone who may have serious reactions and they don’t have to be old.

NOT so! ALL the reputable Doctors say that CV could be controlled if 95% of the people would S I M P L Y wore their MASKS 95% of the time. SO SIMPLE! A vaccine MAY or may NOT work and be the great saving grace that most people HOPE that it will be. They say that HOPE is NOT a strategy. Here we have a SIMPLE, realistic, factual technique that is proven to work - namely a mask MANDATE and the US is such a disorganized and confused-by-leadership Country that the citizens of this spectacular - now once-great-country are happily throwing it into the toilet - and for WHAT???? For WHO???? Not for GOD! - not for any teachings of Jesus Christ! Please think about that as you walk among the multitudes, maskless and spreading your droplets of DEATH - WHILE WEAKENING the US and playing into the hands of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, China, Russia, and other Dictatorships that HATE you and the freedom you enjoy in the US.

Freedom comes with a price. In WWII and other wars the price was young solder's lives. Today the price is ONLY a simple wearing of a mask to save America and Americans won't pay that price. Note that the smarter countries like Canada, S. Korea, Australia, New Zealand, even China, and Germany are only too happy and SMART to pay that price. So go ahead American patriots in TV Land, be UNWITTING DUPES of Putin. Be TRAITORS to America. I warned you, I did my part!

Mask help prevent spread of virus, plus keeps me safer from arrest.

Some people could keep their heads in the sand and laugh all the way to the hospital and possibly DEATH!

Wrong! Younger people DO die from CV. They just die in FEWER numbers than older people like YOU and I. I wonder where people are getting all this misinformation? Oh right! It starts with Russian trolls, who are trying to KILL you and it drifts into some cable channels, which don't care if they KILL you - then you regurgitate it onto local forums such as this. With clever modern propaganda - "they know not what they do"!

China did NOT stop S. Korea and Australia and many other Countries from reacting well to this disaster and doing fast quarantines and REQUIRING mask mandates that allowed their societies to resume normal functioning quickly. They are SMARTER countries!

You could easily be doing that.........IF, big IF , you lived in New Zealand or any other country that reacted well to this Pandemic. Good luck and jack up your life insurance.
