    @Jane Doe. Don’t you go bringing sense into this boondoggle. Some people love the feel of the chains their masters have placed around their necks. Makes them feel safe and secure. Nothing upsets them more than seeing someone who’s free. Going about living their life, while THEY waste away in slavery. That they CHOSE.

    There are meds out there that have saved people’s lives. Why isn’t that talked about? I guess only fear will keep people in control. Don’t question and do what you are told. This is bull….

    >>I do not understand why the breakdown of 189 only adds up to 162

    The city/location data and the total for the county does not always add up. Mostly due to delays in tracing, and there are many listed as “missing” until their location is determined. Also, a case may be first reported as positive today, but city data not gathered/entered for a few days.

    @Exhaustednurse:
    While I don’t believe half of Milton has COVID yet, I do think it will take something like that to convince a lot of these people to abide by the CDC recommendations. Wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance. Sad…

    Way to go Milton, FL, you are just about half of your total population with covid-19. You should be proud!
