Folks just get vaccinated and there won’t be any numbers to report…or very little! It’s not rocket science. Vaccines are the answer period!
The Federal Government is transporting the largely un-vaccinated, often already COVID infected people who are crossing into the country at our Southern boarder to military outpost across the nation. My question is have any of these “Immigrants” been delivered to the Florida panhandle area?
“I am confused by the discrepancy in the deaths reported. North escambia reported 233 deaths this week ….”
The Florida Dept of Health report says 233 reported in the week prior to Friday
I am confused by the discrepancy in the deaths reported. North escambia reported 233 deaths this week while the Orlando sentinel reported 1719 deaths (which seems more in line considering the high death count in Escambia County, Santa Rosa County and Okaloosa County this week. Do these death counts come from different news sources. Any clarification would be appreciated. As always, I appreciate your thorough reporting of the news in our area.
“Am I understanding correctly the deaths in Escambia County this past week due to Covid is 85″
85 *REPORTED* in the last seven days. They did not necessarily happen in the last seven days. There’s some delay in the determination and reporting process. We are likely seeing a spike in deaths reported that occurred during the spike in hospitalizations a few weeks ago.
Am I understanding correctly the deaths in Escambia County this past week due to Covid is 85? I certainly hope somehow I’m having a senior moment and misunderstanding the weekly report. Surely that’s not the case in just one week’s time.
Thanks William for continuing to report the latest numbers. See where sadly Escambia County had 85 deaths, Santa Rosa had 22 deaths and Okaloosa County had 47 deaths. All Covid related! That’s a total of 154 deaths in just 7 days in Northwest Florida!
And the whole state only reported 233! But as you mentioned, the Florida Department of Heath is no longer providing info. on the number of deaths. Sad.
