“When you list Pensacola in the Escambia County Cases is that strictly within the City Limits ”
Pensacola is Pensacola zip codes which is a much larger area than just the city limits
Charlie, the tally is clear as a bell. It lists total cases – then broken down by areas: City of Pensacola , Bellview, Cantonment. ???
When you list Pensacola in the Escambia County Cases is that strictly within the City Limits or does it include other areas in the county that would be considered Pensacola rather than Cantonment or Bellview?
@ NPC, I travel Highway 29 everyday the traffic doesn’t seem to have changed, here. I am sure other areas are seeing an increase, after seeing a decrease. With that said, maybe people have run out of essentials and need to get out and restock. or maybe they simply just want to get out of the house and take a drive. What ever the case it is still a free country and anyone is free to lock down as they see fit. If you are a person of high risk by all means stay at home, if you don’t feel safe/comfortable getting out and can afford the luxury of staying in place, then by all means stay put but please don’t shame those who have to get out, to work, and get essentials, like food. Just like we are free to lock down others are free to move about. Please don’t shame those who are out. Taking a drive may be a persons only way of relieving stress and escaping depression.
Life goes on and a lot is going on in peoples lives during these times that create stress. People have lost family members and are unable to find closure with a funeral service or a celebration of life. People have lost their jobs, while others, like our brave healthcare workers, are putting in many long and stressful days with no end in sight. Stress is hitting us all, for one reason or another, and we need to be cognizant of others situations. Yes people need to be cautious and practice safe distancing but life must go on, and our economy needs to be opened up or we will all suffer, A strong and healthy economy is what will help us beat this. So lets be aware of others and stay united in the fight, and be considerate of all, even those who have a problem staying in one spot. I own 40 acres so when I self isolate it is not the same as a person who lives in an apartment or condominium complex. We all need space. GOD BLESS AMERICA and keep us united in the fight and forever strong!!
With the amount of traffic on the roads increasing it seems as if many feel the worst is over. Essential traffic and personnel is not a difficult phrase to define and without heeding the simplest of orders the road ahead will become difficult to travel inappropriately short time.
Is the hydroxychloroquine protocol available as a treatment option in Escambia county? Is there a database for the infected individuals in Escambia county as to their individual factors (age, sex, race, obesity, etc), their treatment protocol and whether that treatment helped improve the patient or not?
Jay has 2 cases. Milton has 75… Hey here is an idea, let’s close the tag office in Jay and require our residents to travel to Milton where we can stand in longer lines with possible more contagious citizens. Good Thinking.
