Pleases close the Pensacola Beach hotels and rental homes that sleep over10 persons. Send the spring breakers home as they don’t adhere to the max. 10 gathering on the beaches. The revenue will be made up later when folks see our leaders are “true leaders” who care about their constituents more than money. The sooner these tough decisions are made the sooner this crisis will be over.

Since the schools are closed, the day cares should be as well. What is the delay? People we have to start isolating ourselves innorder for us to get past this horrific ordeal. The less people out means less of a chance spreading. We have to be cautious and careful at all times. For God sake let’s become one and beat this virus together,, it’s the only way! God be with us all!!

In 1918 the over 65 years old population in the us was 5-6% of total. Today this group is around 20% us population. If you get the 1918 Philadelphia spike in mortality, You have a mass fatiality beyond anything being explained on the TV. The shortage of doctors in many areas of the US is a disaster looking for a place to happen. Good Luck!

This is for all Americans this country is at a state of emergency.where the American people need to wake up and pay attention and not have the mental attitude of oh this cant happen to me i do agree with self isolation and caring enough for the right thing to do to protect not only your self but everyone else in America.this is a fraiding situation i ask the Lord.Almighty everyday to take it from the Earth so people will stop dying i do believe that its time for everyone to pray to the Lord and ask for his help no matter what your religion we have to work together and protect one another from this horrific virus that has been put upon us and be wise enough to do the right thing for everyones safty

By all means people stay home if you feel that strongly about it.
But Please, explain to me why you feel it is your employer or the governments place to keep your income coming in.
If your that concerned of dying from an illness that has killed less than 90 people (out of 330+ million americans) you should obviously stay home and not risk any dangerous activities such as driving.(which killed 38k people last year) P.S. there have been only 7500 deaths WORLDWIDE the past 3 months from corona. Which first was discoverd back in November last year.
This rediculous hysteria really needs to stop.

Please, for the sake of my life and others. Make the move to close down bars, restaurants, clubs, shops, theaters, and anywhere groups of people gather. Before it gets out of hand and people in our community begin to get sick and die. Life is more important than money. Money can be recovered. Life can not. Be PROACTIVE, not reactive.

I think it would be wise to shutdown the day cares. I am surprised they aren’t already. I understand that people need child care so they can work, specifically our healthcare workers, but these kids spread viruses like wildfires. Since there is a confirmed case in our county, wouldn’t erring on the side of caution be the smart thing to do?
