Covid cases are beginning to tick up in the Villages.

It was in the twenties for several weeks. They're now in the thirties and they're listed as "extremely high" for chances of getting it.

Worrisome because they have low exposure to younger school children because of the zoning, and the Villages has one of the highest vaccination levels.

between residents and the “outsiders.” You didn’t think the residents were working at any of those great amenities The Villages offers did you? I’d be curious how many of them bothered to get the booster. DeSatan really pushed the vaccine there but has been silent about the booster.

Generally one of the highest places for STDs in the country and way too many Trump supporters there. The article says only 41.8% of them have had the booster. And that positivity rate is out of this world at over 33%. I wonder how many cases are actually there with people going untested and all of the false negatives coming out in the tests.

Desatan doesn't want people to get a booster because I think he would prefer they get covid and need regeneron, which isn't even helping with the omicron variant. One of his largest donors is affiliated with the company who makes regeneron. That is why he is trashing the Biden administration for not distributing it.

Just checked my own local area and I shouldn't be throwing stones. Only 19.5% have been boosted.
