    How do you define “recovered”? Do you mean people with no symptoms but who can infect others? What about long-haulers who don’t die from the disease but are sick for weeks and months? And what about the director of the White House security office, Crede Bailey? He got the virus and so far has had one foot and one lower leg amputated. He’s not dead so has he recovered?

    Would you accept 2 million dead? That’s 1% of the 200 million or so adults in the US. Including your parents? Or adult children? Or spouse?

    Just curious.

    @ Literally nothing….my husband, my 54 year old husband, is one of “those deaths” While I know that more people have and are surviving, one death is one too many. I pray you and your family will never experience the overwhelming heartache we are going through right now. I pray you stay safe and healthy.

    >>Why do you never show how many have recovered???

    We’d love to, but there is no such number in Florida. Like it says at the bottom of every one of these stories: The Florida Department of Health does not have a clear standard or definition of “recovered” and does not report a number of recovered individuals.

    20,027 cases in Escambia, 341 “deaths”. Wow, I am shaking in my little Christmas boots with fear. Keep falling for their tricks, people.
