Nassau County Emergency Management:

Will we get a place to start being tested for Covid 19 near Yulee , in Nassau County? My husband and I are both 80. Is there any place we can be tested up here? Thank you.
According to the Florida Dept of Health Nassau, there will be testing at Yulee Middle School on July 16, at the bus loop. Only 50 test kits are available. (First-come, first served.) The hours are 9:30 to 11:30, but get their early!
We have a cumulative case count of 243. But how many people were tested to find those 243 cases? How many of the 243 had symptoms? Did the 1 person who died also have other health issues? There is a lot this chart does not tell us.
And let’s look at how ‘dangerous’ this virus is: 1 death out of 243 cases, resulting in a mortality rate of 0.4%. And this is for actual confirmed cases. How big might the denominator actually be, given that many people may have been infected and either had no symptoms or only mild ones, and therefore did not get tested?
