Information from Florida Dept of Health
March 22, 2020
According to the Florida Department of Health website, there are now 2 individuals, both male and individuals who have traveled, who have tested positive for the Coronavirus. One individual is a Nassau County resident, and the other is a non-resident. =
Eighty two thousand county residents and apparently only twenty two tested with two infected. Something wrong with this picture. Why haven’t more been tested? Hiding something? Certainly the Observer will inquire?
Remember every test requires a complete change of PPE. With these in short supply it makes no sense to waste them on patients with no symptoms. They are needed for patients who are already sick
Right! Don’t waste resources on those that are well.
Y’all are doing a great job please keep it up
Data corrected to reflect only 1 case in Nassau County FL as there was an error in adding a case from an individual from Nassau County New York. Stay safe everyone. Testing a person who is asymtomatic is of little use unless that person is going to go in complete isolation immediately after the test, otherwise, they could test negative and then several days later become infected if they come in contact with another person that is already infected.
