*“Hospitalizations” in the statewide and Santa Rosa County totals is a count of all laboratory confirmed cases in which an inpatient hospitalization occurred at any time during the course of illness. Most of these people are longer be hospitalized. The FDOH does not provide a count of patients currently hospitalized. The Escambia County number is current data compiled each day from the local hospitals.

**On cases by location, the city is based upon zip code and is not always received as part of the initial notification. There may be a delay in reporting locations, and locations will not total the daily case increase as a result.

***The Florida Department of Health does not have a clear standard or definition of “recovered” and does not report a number of recovered individuals. Escambia County is reporting an approximate recovery number defined as the total cases prior to last month, minus deaths. In other words, anyone that tested positive more than a month ago is presumed to have recovered by Escambia County.

    The bad news story is that you put your life at risk if you shop in many stores in the City of Pensacola where Mayor Robinson has failed or refused to actively enforce not only his own mask order (June 26) but the City’s mask ordinance (June 30) too, a city law. He just hates us that much. It is not unusual to go into a large store like Walmart, Publix or Winn-Dixie in the city and see 15-30 people not wearing masks during your visit. No one working for the store ever says anything to the non-mask wearers. They know the city is not going to back them up. There are exceptions. Everyone wears masks in the Fresh Market, the Publix in East Hill and at the Dollar Tree store on 9th Avenue. Shop there. Outside of the city, everyone wears masks at the Tractor Store too. Amidst all the bad news, there is some good news, some of which WEAR Channel 3’s Tanner Stewart hinted at during a report yesterday. In Escambia County, as of yesterday’s state report, the percentage of people aged 65+ who have gotten at least one COVID-19 shot is 45%. Wow! The percentage who have gotten two shots, to include my wife, is only 14.25% but that number should go up quickly. If you are 65+ and get hospitalized with COVID-19, you have a pretty good shot at ending up in the overcrowded morgue and even far more so if you are 85+ where the local death rate is 72%. However, the COVID-19 death rate in Escambia County is dramatically less than the state average. We should celebrate that fact and give credit to our three major hospital systems. For hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Escambia County in the 65-74 age bracket, the death rate is a horrific 40% but significantly less than the statewide average 55%.
