    “Wonder why lately the community numbers don’t add up to the total for each county? Am I missing something? ”

    There are a few steps. Step one – the positive case is reported to the Florida Dept of Health and they add to that day’s numbers. Step two – cities and communities are determined later. So 40 cases might be reported on Friday, but the location is not added until Sunday. And, the location might not be determined during the same exact 24 hours. And there’s always some number (that we do not list) where the location is “missing” and contract tracers or somebody later figures out the community.

    Wonder why lately the community numbers don’t add up to the total for each county? Am I missing something? Also why the disproportionate amount between the two counties. Santa Rosa has almost half the population of Escambia county and look at how there’s more cases in that county. And this has been repeated a lot lately. Is it the politics of the area, people not wearing masks as much? It’s something! I see all the yard signs and flags over there I don’t see over here in Escambia county.
