Default TV Virus numbers in The Sun

Can someone help me with finding the daily Florida and TV virus numbers in The Sun. It seems to have become a guessing game on what page they are today.

I saw someone from Dade County last evening saying his numbers in Dade are escalating.

I’ve been using this site, you can drill down USA, Florida then view by county.

You can go to the Florida coronavirus dashboard for the latest numbers.

Thumbs down Guessing Game

First these statistics were on the front page, small but there. Then they were moved to page A5 of the front section of the paper. Today they were in the "Local Section " of the paper. In other words they are slowly being moved to reduce the ability to find them.
The key question is why? It can't be because they are going down at a rapid pace since today, there were 113 new cases. If you go to the local "Village News" you will find them as a highlight of the news. The question is why the most notable paper in the Village's is downplaying the numbers. My best guess is allegedly since the paper is indirectly controlled by the Developer/Owner of the Villages it will only report the news to protect the sale of homes vs need to know by the residents. Sad state of affairs when allegedly home sales overrules public knowledge and safety?

Question Help

I looked at the Website suggested by JerryP and unless I totally misunderstood it was scary. The chart indicated there were 515 new cases in the USA and it has been reported we had 113 in the Tri County area. This would mean we were about 21% of the new cases in the USA? I am hopeful I misread the chart and the numbers can't be tied to each other?

There were 86 people who died yesterday in Florida from Covid 19 and three in Sumter County. Just type into your browser the words Corona Virus and the County AND State.

There are only reports from Counties. Not towns or areas.

As with al statistics, it's difficult to get an exact handle on the Villages numbers. Usually, stats are provided by county. Since The Villages lies in three different counties, it's difficult to determine exactly how many of the cases in each county are in The Villages proper.

The number of deaths on any given day don't really tell a whole lot. The people that died contracted those cases at different times. If the virus was destroyed tomorrow, there might still be Covid-19 deaths a year from now.

The only number that I'm interested in is how many new cases there are in a given time period and how may total, active cases there are in my area. Which brings up the point that we don't often see the number of cured cases. Of those 760,389 cases, how many no longer have the virus? How many of those were false positives? How may people that are living among us currently have the virus?

Very strange when you have to hunt for news that is rather important to the residents here.

It does appear that the paper does not want us to know the current statistics.

The NY Times reports the numbers which you can drill down to find the county in which you reside. However, the numbers are for the last 7 days which dampens out any one day spike in numbers. This makes comparing a county in The Villages to a county some place else more meaningful. Hope this helps.

Here's another website that includes trend charts. Sumter numbers are heavily impacted by spikes at the prisons.

So, your suppositions are facts? 😲

All the states do not update until later in the day. You will see these numbers change throughout the day.

Not fact but rather logical conclusions, why else move it around and make the numbers hard to find?

Open to any other ideas as to why this is happening.
