And quit listening to the orange shitgibbon.

The virus is likely all over that area and it's just a matter of time before the true infection level is evident.

I bet a lot of them are still gathering in their homes. Not much that can be done to stop them doing that.

It's too bad they didn't heed the warnings.

My mother is employed by a Hospice provider.

They are contingency planning on a surge in COIVD-related deaths in Hospice.

It’s going to be terrifying...

This must be scary for you and for them, but luckily your mom must have experience with taking precautions against spreading infection, so it will come easier to her to keep them safe. I hope they’re prepared and especially that they stay healthy.

Mostly Sumter, but also Lake and Marion. I bet the numbers are higher.

Also, Sumter is a very poor county. I bet The Villages isn't paying a dime for testing, etc. They leach off the poor residents for everything.

Thanks.

They aren't mass testing the whole population of 125,000.

I don’t feel sorry for them.

their retirement homes in this area must be paid for.

Beaches in Florida, beaches in California, outside basketball games in New York stopped by the mayor when he found out, parks in New York City full of people just last weekend. Hopefully everyone stops all that.

the virus spread for weeks.

I am just shaking my head and wondering what the hell their families must be thinking. I am sad about the heartaches to come. Maybe they'll dodge the worse case scenario. I'm hoping some of those residents were like my grandparents and not only smart, but full of common sense.

My parents have been and still are being so fucking stupid about this. If my father, in particular catches this he's probably a dead man, due to existing issues he has. Yet he still goes out every fucking day to crowded stores and such to run silly errands he doesn't need to do just because he gets antsy being at home. He's always been that way, but damn, can't he just go for a drive and not stop anywhere? They're convinced that this is less deadly than the flu, and they won't be told otherwise. They're not going to believe it's real until it starts killing off their friends - if it doesn't get them them first.

showing the old folks attending a dance at the Villages and claiming they weren't worried about the virus? I believe it had a picture of some of them dancing.

Just because someone's a senior citizen doesn't mean they're wise or smart. They've probably been the stupid ones most of their lives but now the stupidity is exacerbated by age.

I can say that because I'm a senior and live in a senior community and a lot of them are pretty damned stupid and voted for Trump. Plus, let's not forget the most stupid of them all - Trump. Those of us old enough to remember him as a younger person proves the adage that whatever's wrong with you as a young person is only exacerbated as you age. Some of us knew he was a narcissist and conman back in the 70's but now he's a malignant narcissist and the supreme conman.

strong hold of people who consistently vote.

In fact, it would almost seem like most of the respondees are on to him.
