My family has taken the testing on April 27th at Carver Park and still have not gotten the test results. I’ve called and left messages and no one has returned any of them back to me.

Very small percentage of the 313,500 Escambia Co residents have been tested.

Thankful that of those who do have the Coronavirus the great majority are able to be treated at home rather than in hospital.
We have very very few, according to media reports, who are actually in our medical facilities.

As more are tested it follows that the number of positives will increase even if they have very minor symptoms. Some will die because of the virus however more will pass because of pre-existing conditions and those who smoke and have lung diseases are particularly at risk.

Prayers and Deep Appreciation to all the First Responders and Medical Personnel who are treating and helping to tend to those ill.

Now the Testing should expand to include everyone. Its needed some people have symptoms and won’t follow up as they should or lack health insurance making them afraid to go to the hospital for help. Test county residents who don’t have symptoms so we can give care to anyone in need. It will also help to identity carriers who never get the actual virus but who are still infectious. Preventative measures are needed.

We need to ramp up testing. Why so little testing when we’ve known about this for 70 days

I think it’s crazy myself if people go to the beach around a crowds of people,they have no respects for others or their familys,are they crazy or what,they should be made to leave but the beaches should remain closed in every state to keep others safe,or it’s going to keep spreading,these people are Looney tunes,God forbid,but it true.
