    I have been keeping a weekly track of the numbers you have posted throughout the month of May, starting on Friday May 1st. There seems to be a difference of 31 cases *missing* on the list for Escambia county.

    May 1st May 19th
    Total cases — 532 Total cases — 719 (187 new cases)
    Pensacola — 402 Pensacola — 533 (Difference of 131)
    Cantonment — 40 Cantonment — 48 (difference of 8)
    Bellview — 6 Bellview — 6 (no change)
    Perdido Key — 1 Perdido Key — 1 (no change)
    McDavid/Walnut Hill — 1 McDavid/Walnut Hill — 1 (no change)
    Molino – 4 Molino – 4 (no change)
    Century — 2 Century — 2 (no change)
    Hospitalizations: 43* Hospitalizations: 60 (difference of 17)
    Deaths — 12 Deaths — 21 (not sure if this is counted in the
    total but if so difference of 9)

    So total with changes is 156 new cases, if you add the difference in deaths in that it is 165, I am just wondering where the other 22 cases are located.

    By no means am I trying to say anything negative about this site, or the NorthEscambia employees, because I am sure you get your info from another source.

    Also if my math is incorrect please correct me, I might be missing something.
