Not done, doubled.
A thirty seven year old man with four young children died from covid Friday. He bragged about not getting vaccinated..he lived in Atmore, three of his children tested positive, thirteen of his coworkers tested positive, none vaccinated…..
Covid in Escambia county has done for the last5 weeks. People do the right thing.
Stubbornness = Stupidity regarding the COVID vaccine. No one is going to make you do it. It’s a selfishness not to do so.

As the story says, the state stopped reporting data other than what’s listed. The Escambia Dashboard took that state data and make it more presentable in a local format. Without the state data, the county doesn’t have the info anymore.
What happpened to the Escambia County Covid Dashboard? The daily reporting would keep people aware that the battle against covid is not over, the risk of illness or death remains – so more frequent information is needed and important.
Stupid is as stupid does…
I agree everyone does need to get their shot but are scared sometimes the shot works and sometimes it don’t work ! So people are scared either way people has died from the Johnson and Johnson shot but all the shots are not bad . People fuss about people not taking the shot but it is the same way with trying to get them to wear a mask ! Nobody wins . We need our Govener to step up and do something but not put people on lockdown that’s not going to work. Just make mask mandatory in public places but we need to protect each other and our children and elderly. God help us all get through this
I cant get the vaccine so wear your masks. If you have covid and dont know it, you’re a spreader. We all must be wearing masks till the new year. WISE UP
Folks if you are not vaccinated then you must have a death wish. Gov. Ivey of Alabama said it best, “people just don’t have any common sense” referring to all the Alabamians not vaccinated. And it’s the same in Florida and especially this area. If you aren’t vaccinated you are probably going to get the virus. And most cases of this new variant are serious ones. It may make you seriously sick for a few days, put you in the hospital, or just kill you. The fact that you could spare yourself, your spouse, your kids from one of those outcomes by just getting vaccinated makes no logical sense for you to go on unvaccinated. Look at the numbers! It doubled in one week and it’s running rampant in the unvaccinated. Don’t be a fool. Protect yourself and your loved ones before it’s too late!
This is so sad, so much pain that didn’t have to happen.
Everyone knows what they need to do, masks up and get vaccanated.
Lets stop this, school children needs us to step it up, Fast!
