Are the nursing homes still allowing visitors?

You need to educate yourself. Coronavirus is not even remotely related to influenza.
REGARDING:
“some will get it to various degrees and won’t at all. It’s the flu for God’s sake.”
COVID-19 is NOT the flu. (I know our president thought it was, but he seems to understand now — although he also briefly thought it was a bacterium.) Flu seldom attacks the respiratory tract, COVID-19 commonly does — leading to pneumonia and high death rates.. They have different gene sequences.
Flu viruses mutate more rapidly than SARS-CoV-2 virus. (This is good; it implies SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations — when developed — would be effective longer.)
It is true that few children will die from COVID-19. They will infect older people and kill many, though.

Mr.Annoyed,
Actually we should be out and about. Protect the vulnerable, put the kids in school ,some will get it to various degrees and wont at all. It’s the flu for God’s sake. But you just keep on being annoyed and be the innocent sheep just like the deep state wants and let me know how you like your freedom and liberties taken from you.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD HELP TRUMP
ECUA needs to close the birding trail boardwalk off Blue Angel & Fayal Drive. There is no way people passing each other out there are six feet apart. Do the right thing ECUA. More cases might be on your back! I’ve seen families of five or six walking out there. Crazy!
>>Do you have stats as to the 1 case in Perdido Key being a resident or non-resident?
They would be a resident of Perdido Key, otherwise they would have been classified as a non-resident.

Would be nice to know how many Escambia cases were from general public vs
Nursing homes or jails.
common sense if people would stay home and stop going out to parks and stuff it would stop spreading so much, park next door to my house always have people at it. Quite annoying that people are being this dumb.
