Five Additional Deaths, 94 New COVID-19 Cases Reported Over The Weekend
October 12, 2020

Five new deaths and 94 additional COVID-19 cases were reported in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties for Saturday and Sunday by the Florida Department of Health.
The Florida Department of Health did not issue a daily COVID-19 update on Saturday – the first time in nearly seven months – after a big problem with a private lab.
“Last night, the Department of Health received approximately 400,000 previously-reported COVID-19 test results from Helix Laboratory – a private lab that is not affiliated with the state of Florida,” FDOH said in a press release on Saturday. “The massive size of the data file and the need to de-duplicate hundreds of thousands of results prevented the Department of Health’s automatic reporting system from processing yesterday’s results as it normally does.”

Helpful reminder: According to the numbers for Escambia county, fatality rate is a little over 2%. That’s about twenty times deadlier than the flu. Wear a mask. Wash your hands.
Keep it up Escambia county…keeping the positivity rate down. All due to attitudes and discipline. Santa Rosa county…3 times the rate. Why? Just look at the political landscape! The party of chaos and deniers. The idea that a health crisis is a political issue rather than in reality a health issue. Not enough discipline and way to much politics. Just sad.
