    “why the numbers differ from what is reported here.”

    One difference is days. If you are looking at SUNDAY’s numbers. This report was published early Sunday morning and contains SATURDAY’s numbers (it clearly says Saturday). That’s one difference.

    You are quoting 19,066 cases. That’s Florida residents as of Sunday night. The state dashboard also lists 2,342 non-residents that tested positive in Escambia County. 19066+2342 = 21408 total on Sunday in Escambia County.. We reported 21268 total on Saturday (and broke out 2328 non-residents on line 2).

    It all adds up.

    i’ve been following the covid spread stats in escambia county for several months. i check the covid dashboard every day https://fdoh.maps.arcgis.com/ do not understand why the numbers differ from what is reported here. the state of florida says there are 19,066 positive cases. but this website reports there are 21,268. that’s 2,022 more than the state reported. desantis and his minions cooking the books again?? someone is not being truthful at a time when it’s of paramount importance to stop playing games with our lives. my wife and myself are both retired and immuno-challenged and i am a full time caregiver. it terrifies me to have to go out for supplies, etc. this week while in a grocery, i was confronted repeatedly by people who refuse to wear a mask, causing me to turn around and exit the aisle to escape the selfsih oafs who seem to be on a mission to be as arrogant as possible. and this goes on while the announcer reminds the shoppers that masks are required?? enough already. please wear a mask when you are around others. pretend you’re contestant on the insipid masked singer. you’ll be fine. and you won’t be spreading the virus. easy-peasy.
