    >>>Why you want or can’t tell us where the virus is contracted in Alabama?

    We can’t tell you because the Alabama Department of Health does not release where the cases are in Escambia County

    Why you want or can’t tell us where the virus is contracted in Alabama? I mean we are not asking who have this virus, just if it’s in the area we live in. I am 62 years old and I would love to know if it’s a case here in Brewton, Alabama. I stay shut up in my house and only go out if I have to. I don’t go to
    Wal-Mart unless I have to, why can’t we know if cases are here in Brewton, Evergreen or Castleberry. I don’t even go to my Doctors appointments because it’s in Evergreen. Again we are not asking who came in contacted with the virus, just is it in our area:

    >When we see the number of cases is now up to 30, are these 30 cases all being treated at this time or is that a total of cases since the testing began?

    The Alabama Department of Health does not track recoveries. So the number will only keep increasing. This is all the data they provide.

    William,

    When we see the number of cases is now up to 30, are these 30 cases all being treated at this time or is that a total of cases since the testing began? If this is the number of total cases it would be nice to know how many are currently battling the virus. If we just continue to count totals then we will be reading about an increase until it’s over.
