For those who are keeping track of their county Covid numbers, start watching the number of deaths

in your county.

On Saturday I could have sworn it was 8 in Seminole, but I did not write it down. By Sunday it was 10. An increase of 2, but the reports only stated that one person died in my county. And now there is an increase of another. 11, total.

They may be stretching them out over time so it doesn't look as dire as it really is.

to ask the questions like what volume of deaths were they experiencing this year versus last year.

Because you can’t have a funeral or memorial service (yet). A friend died of cancer a month ago and her husband did not put anything out for that reason.

moved there recently and they said the articles I have read on DU from the Tampa Bay Times and sent to them are exaggerated as are my concerns for their health. They said those big social group activities that they are known for are being canceled and people aren't partying in their homes as reported. I don't buy it though. All they talk about is the golf courses, the dances, etc (and they don't even golf). I think they have been taken over by Pod People.
