Lifendason ,everyone knows by now that vaccinated people are getting infected and are spreading the virus the same as unvaccinated ones. Since vaccinations neither stop the pandemic nor slow it down, choosing not to be vaccinated should not cause hostility in the population. Everyone should get the vaccine because it promises a milder case of Covid.
I hope we don’t see drastic restrictive measures already implemented in other countries for both: the FULLY VACCINATED and the unvaccinated ones
@Lifendason
The vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting COVID. It increases your body’s ability to fight the virus and reduces your symptoms and transmission rate.
If you contract COVID-19 and haven’t been vaccinated, your chances of dying are 4-10x higher than someone who has received the vaccine.
@Bill and anyone else that think because you’re vaccinated you cannot get COVID, your wrong.
I have 10+ coworkers out with COVID and they all have been vaccinated, a couple even the booster.
@Bill…..there is no information on the vaccination status of the new cases. Drawing the conclusion that every new case is from an unvaccinated person may not be accurate.
REGARDING:
“Escambia County cases:
Total deaths last 7 days: 0 (CDC data)
Santa Rosa County cases:
Total deaths last 7 days: <10 (CDC data)"
The distinctions make it clear that
<10 means less than 10 but more than 0, so at least 1. (I had wondered before.)
…and the non-vaxers keep on believing…in what? Please get vaccinated to protect yourselves, your families and your neighbors…please
Holy moly that’s a huge increase in cases in Escambia. Essentially cases are up over 1,000% over 2 weeks ago. From 203 cases 3 weeks ago to 2,147 last week! Everyone take care out there!
This is so concerning!! Thanks William for keeping us up-dated!
