    To JB. I am speaking of Escambia only. I dont really care about the rest. But you get the math so ….. But even 2.557621939% is pretty low.. My calculator might have a few more places and dont round up..
    Still WAY below smoking and other things that cause death…

    Gov DeSantis opened what he was not qualified to make a decision on…then cases started to escalate…so he passes the buck to cities local experts…mayors…etc..to be at their discretion to open…then the mayors and county commissioners became experts on what to and how to reopen.
    I dont think we can survive all these experts decisions.

    All the politicians are killing us with expert misinformation…they are guessing …we are the guinea pigs

    There is no plan…until you find a vaccine for prevention.

    Then all the above will be experts on that.
    Keep your nasty self clean…stay away ..keep distance …
    Unclean nasty people …and I mean people who go into local bathrooms and use it..dont wash before and after…go out into the store and handle products on the shelves with those nasty hands..wiping germs everywhere. Blowing their nose and coughing openly , coughing in their hand..then again handling products on shelves
    People are the nastiest primates on earth
    BTW…I am not an expert…just an observer of filth in the human race

    @John
    And let’s not forget all of the protests that our “fearless leader” agreed with.
    He urged Virginia, Minnesota, and Michigan to “liberate” and protest the shutdown.
    So don’t forget about those people out there protesting, it’s not just folks protesting because they are tired of their race being seen as lesser, it’s also the people who thought this virus was being blown out of proportion and wanted their states to end the shutdown. (Now we have climbing Covid-19 cases)
    If we’re going to point fingers, let’s point them in all directions.

    @ John
    So, you think this virus has spread ONLY because of the protesting? The protesting in close proximity with others definitely chances spreading the virus.
    But I feel maybe you disagree with it or cite the problem as only the protesting because of the fact the protesters haven’t been privileged white (which I am) all of their lives and they’re protesting against “something we should all be used to by now”, right?
    Sorry their cause doesn’t affect you, but let’s remember the Blue Angel show that’s scheduled for July 8-11.
    I know they make it seem like they’re spreading it out so that no one will have to be in close proximity with others to see the show, but let’s be real, the beaches are packed during an air show, and the comments for the Blues show on NE.com aren’t nearly as negative as the mentality you have towards the protesters. Actually everyones on board with the air show that will have tons of folks on the beaches. I RARELY see anyone in Pensacola wearing a mask, let’s not blame this on protesters, Blue Angel goers, any one race, political party, or any one person, and let’s realize that so much of our opinions on what to do with this virus is being driven by POLITICS!!

    Of course you cannot contribute all cases to the rioters. But you should not turn restrictions on and off like a switch. Yes, rioting and looting fits our agenda – so there are no restrictions whatsoever; we don’t want you to eat or shop at a certain place – easy fix, shut the place down!
    Nothing about the handling of this pandemic makes sense and we will never learn the whole truth. Why not make public how many people are actually hospitalized as of today ? – Political BS designed to destroy this country.

    To solely attribute the spike in cases to the protests is absurd. Lack of social distancing, masks, bars/restaurants and other re-openings no doubt played a part.

  7. John on June 27th, 2020 11:51 pm

    The numbers were going down then the stupid protests started happening. Why can’t people just mind their own business and live their lives.

    How on earth are you getting .4% for death rate? 3390/132,545 = 2.65

  9. D. Smith on June 27th, 2020 6:52 pm

    Three of my friends from my church have come down with the “V”, now one of their sons has it. Please be careful when you go anywhere outside you home. Wear a Mask. We do not know where they contacted the “V”. thanks.

    What I look at is the death rate and hospital rate.
    Those are very low %. Yes this virus moves fast and is terrible. But we will survive
    For those wanting to know the % just divide the death rate by the total rate.
    so about .4% So dont be to TERRIFIED .
    Smoking deaths are far higher.

    “So when reporting cases that means these are all positive cases?”

    Ummm, yes.

  12. Candace Rorrer on June 27th, 2020 2:22 pm

    So when reporting cases that means these are all positive cases?
