    Disproportionately higher in Santa Rosa Co? Escambia Co has a 5.6% positive rate. Santa Rosa county has a 4.4% positive rate. Escambia Co has a 1.8% rate of death. Santa Rosa Co has a 1.3% rate of death. Lower on both counts. Using 2019 population estimates. The above % positives are vs those tested, not per population.
