    @D
    So if given the choice would you rather have the seasonal flu that is mostly treatable with known existing medications or would you rather take your chances with the unknown of covid-19? I’m not paranoid and hiding under my bed but we need to respect the health of our fellow citizens. Make your own choices but respect the rights of others as well.

    @Dawn,

    The deaths during flu season are for a 6 month period. We have been dealing with COVID-19 for less than 4. Estimates for flu deaths vary from 12,000 to 61,000. We’ll split the differance and say around 42 to 43,000 deaths from the flu. With having 55,000 deaths from COVID-19 already, in less than 4 months, it’s quite obvious that COVID-19 is much worse than seasonal flu.

    A drop in numbers for one day in a small area? While that is great, one day does not represent a trend. The daily numbers and reporting is giving me whiplash because of the overwhelming desire of so many to take numbers out of context to skew a political narrative when in reality tracking the trends of covid-19 is going to be like tracking climate science. It’s about tracking the trends over a long period of time and seeing what the trends suggest. The difference of following climate science vs seeing a weather event.

    It just dawned on me….with the death rate of Covid-19 being equal to or even less than that of seasonal influenza ( .035 for the state of FL and .023 for Escambia co.) and we already widely vaccinate for it, shouldn’t we be far more fearful of seasonal flu and shut everything down every flu season? Think about it…what’s really going on?
