I would also like to know exactly where in the county this case is and where he has been or where he worked. I have a brother and sister-in-law who are working right out in the middle of the public.

So far we have one isolated case in Escambia and it was connected to travel outside the area. Everyone is in a panic! Stay isolated as much as possible and practice good hygiene. As far as early food stamp distributions, pensions, social security and whatever people demand- why? We are not cut off from civilization, without power, water etc. and no resources were destroyed. If anything at all, they need to force Soros – who owns Amazon – to put restrictions on the amounts of goods sent to individuals! That’s what is creating the shortages and the hoarders in stores. Are they buying for their own use? Hell no- they are planning on selling them at a huge profit margin. Just like after hurricanes – This price gouging
Is far worse than the virus itself.

Wanda Brown – Like many of us, you are high risk with diabetes and I read that smoking is not good either. Do what I’m doing: Cancel everything you can. Only go out when you absolutely have to. For groceries, I’m getting cat food from Amazon and will increase what I get from them. I will try the Walmart order online and pick up in the parking lot. Many drug stores are delivering prescriptions free now like CVS and Walgreens according to emails they sent out. If you have a younger relative who can shop for you, that’s what we are doing for my mother. We are choosing one person, our youngest sibling, to bring her groceries. The rest of us are going to keeping our distance.

I hope we can find out more about the one in Escambia county like what area this person lives and if he works with the public. The sooner people find out they can protect themselves and get tested if they recently came in contact with him.

I was recently in contact with an elderly man who was on a cruise from Australia. He flew into Pensacola and was never tested for fever or otherwise as well on disembarkment from the cruise ship. I’m hoping this is not the man I was in touch with and until they give more information I will be concerned as I’m in my 70’s.

Driving down Mobile Highway the past two days and the park next to the Equestrian Center has been packed with people. Unbelievable.

Wash your hands. Keep social distance. STAY HOME.

This is not an extended Spring Break.

The Mayor would be a hero if he stopped the spread RIGHT NOW,
Restaurant only to go or delivery, Any events, postpone!
It is awesome Escambia already has a drive thur screening process at Sacred Heart. However, people are being diagnosed negative, then a few days later show up positive. That is why the incubation period ranges from 5.1 days to 14. Stay safe peeps!
