    Just use common sense. Just like flu season…you don’t know who may have been exposed to the flu or has the flu when you go out. Same thing here! Take every precaution and assume everyone has it. Protect yourself and the people around you as best you can. There’s not going to be a list posted of infected people, so take every precaution. Educate yourself on the warning signs and respond accordingly. I’m a nurse who works in a hospital and could be exposed at anytime just like someone could in the dollar store or grocery store or getting gas at a service station. Again…limit your exposure and educate yourself and don’t let fear of the unknown take away your sensibility.

    @Lilly IT shouldn’t matter where the hot spots are – everyone should assume they have the virus and just stay away from people to keep from infecting them. On the same note, you should assume everyone has it and stay away as well.

    if I don’t have symptoms now but did for a couple of months and prescribed antibiotics and steroids for those weeks , should I be tested now?

    How are we suppose to know if we have come in contact with the person who has been tested positive if we don’t know who it is. Sounds like a good way for it to spread more.

    >>”If the virus become worse in Escambia Alabama will you be showing a map of where the hot spots are, or letting you check your zip code for have many cases there are in your city.”

    At this point, No. The Alabama Department of Health does not provide that information like Florida does.

    I don’t have a comment. I have a question. If the virus become worse in Escambia Alabama will you be showing a map of where the hot spots are, or letting you check your zip code for have many cases there are in your city.
