Yeah they’re going to need a lot more testing capability since the ignorant population here can’t seem to separate political fanaticism from hard medical and science facts. Escambia county trails 73% of US counties in vaccinations. Only about a third of residents are fully vaccinated. But we’ll reach herd immunity one way or the other. It’s just a large portion of people here will sacrifice themselves to severe illness and death to get us there. So carry on. It is your choice!
