You are commenting a story that is clearly labeled in big bold print on the first line as being outdated…and it says Friday.Today is Tuesday.
How can Pensacola have 491 cases yesterday and 472 today????
For those who think covid-19 is “just like the flu”, 1,669 ( the number of coronavirus deaths in Florida) is 4.26% of 39,199 (the number of confirmed cases of covid-19 in Florida). That’s about 40 times more deadly than the flu.
