Comments on: Escambia Now At 13 COVID-19 Cases – Six In Cantonment, Seven In Pensacola http://www.northescambia.com/2020/03/escambia-now-at-13-covid-19-cases-six-in-cantonment-seven-in-pensacola Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:50:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: A doctor from Pensacola - March 30th. http://www.northescambia.com/2020/03/escambia-now-at-13-covid-19-cases-six-in-cantonment-seven-in-pensacola/comment-page-1#comment-410625 A doctor from Pensacola - March 30th. Tue, 31 Mar 2020 17:29:44 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=396876#comment-410625 Florida had surpassed Louisiana in no. of confirmed cases, 5,000 against 4,000 as of last night and spring break was just 1 week ago. Incubation period before 1 shows symptoms is 14 days so by next week, cases might blow up. I implore our Governor to declare statewide stay at home policy to prevent the spread ( THIS the ONLY WAY to WIN THIS WAR !). Let us not repeat the SLOW RESPONSE from the TOP which is already showing disastrous effect. 71 deaths is not a laughing matter, it could have been your loved. Also, why is it Tallahassee ( the Capitol ) is lockdown and not the rest of us? The rest of us in Florida is not immune to Covid-19.

If you have to go to work, groceries, etc. just stay 10' away from people. It is not that difficult. These new cases could be from family infecting their own family. For heavens sake don't panic and stop buying buggies full of TP. People just stay home unless you have to go out! If you have to go to work, groceries, etc. just stay 10′ away from people.

That's where the governor is mmmmm but we are not and cases keep escalating. I guess we will when its gets bad and people die this does not make sense and it's not fair I see Tallahassee is on lock down.

I think the idea is to slow it down enough to where we have time to gather data and learn more about it. @Common sense

While this may be true, imagine how many more deaths from this virus there would be if the present steps had not been taken. Italy for one, & a number of other countries, are paying a heavy price for not reacting soon enough, & how about China, where it started from? This one is different, in the fact that it is hidden & doesn't show up, & is widely & quickly spread, before people are aware who has it.
