    With the numbers so low now, when are the hospitals going to allow family members to visit them and when are we going to be allowed to accompany spouses to dr. appts?

    Why is the median age in Escambia staying at 39? Most of the deaths lately are in the 60’s and 70’s, some 80’s.

    “Correct me if I’m wrong but I think there’s been a mistake on Century’s count.”

    I believe their count includes the prison, which accounts for the majority of those cases.

    “The positivity rate that was last announced was August 28th. ”

    Today is September 2. It was 3.7% today in Escambia County. Right there in the story.

    “Really? The local positivity rate is the lowest it has been in months.”

    The positivity rate that was last announced was August 28th. Which means it has yet to account for the re-openings.

    “Seems as though the cases are starting to rise again, matches up with the timeline of schools re-opening.”
