Walton County COVID19 Updates

Two-thirds of my household has COVID...one positive test, one with symptoms 3 days after testing negative. I’ve been sharing the same space with them since July 6th yet, for reasons unknown, I’m still fine. COVID is an odd one... Symptoms: fever below 100, body aches...but mostly sinus pressure and 3-4 days of headaches....so far. No smell taste after Day 4, and still absent at Day 10. No real respiratory stuff thankfully. Trust me, we are locked down in my house for your safety. And we have been wearing masks and will continue to do so post-quarantine for your safety. You’re welcome; we should all think of each other’s health.

Oh no! Thanks for sharing.

My nephew recently tested positive. His symptoms started out achy and very tired then he felt fine within a few days. He's in quarantine. His family has been tested and all are clear for how. He's a young man out there working and doing the usual things so his exposure was pretty high. Thankful he's doing well. Most people do well but I've heard of some who say they feel extremely sick.

Sounds like my daughter's house. Their taste issues lasted a few weeks. They all got it from a college aged granddaughter who wasn't practicing good social distancing.

FLORIDA CORONAVIRUS: Okaloosa, Bay and Santa Rosa counties now each reporting more than 1,500 cases, 255 under 18-years-old

If that graph gets any taller I will need a larger phone.

I have also quarantined. Im 8 days in now. First signs were major hot flashes and chills but no fever. Still have not gone over 98*. Lost taste and smell 5 days in but never had any nasal congestion. Had bad eye pressure at first to the point it was flashing pain to look sideways. Also really bad back pain behind my lungs and neck pain the first couple days. Woke up with hives all over on the fourth day which was a fun addition to trying to sleep. Basically the equivalent of sleeping with fleas while having hot flashes. Never had any respiratory issues but have had a tickle in my throat a couple days now. This is the first day I've been able to do any walking around the house for more than 20mis without having to lay down. Its no joke! And all these yahoos common down here not wearing their masks are just gonna take it home with them. I'd expect restaurants to be carryout only again by August here at this rate.

Just shows that it is out there for the susceptible. The mystery is why, nine days sharing the same space and air with two legit cases, yet I’m still untouched... Strange stuff...

my daughter (at 9 days with no fever) just told me that her head feels detached from her body...

It is a strange virus indeed! Hope you stay untouched

So.... if I digest all the data, in Walton County (discounting the nine deaths in the long-care facility in DeFuniak Springs) there has been ONE DEATH in Walton County attributed to COVID since the onset of the pandemic....?

And about 94% that test positive for COVID do not require hospitalization??

Listen. Go sit in the corner and stare at the wall until you feel you can come back here and at least appear to be terrified.

Gordo... take a knee. Scroll back--I'm the guy who has been consolidating the (many sometimes conflicting.... COVID data and posting to this thread for all to see, since the first day it appeared here. Yes... I am concerned.... And yes, I can "do the math". No need for you to sit on your butt and criticize me.

P.S. I'm in the older generation(!) and understand the potential COVID consequences.

You end those both with question marks. This implies lack of confidence in your ability to “do the math” or perhaps scoffing at your conclusions. I took it to mean the second, scoffing at your conclusions, and that you didn’t find “ONE DEATH”, as you put it in caps, as terrifying as we are to feel. Perhaps in the future don’t use question marks when making a statement, it makes it appear you are drawing conclusions when your response seems to indicate you are just presenting data.

Sorry to hear the bad news and I sincerely hope you and your family make a full recovery. I wish we could all do more to help everyone make it through these tough times.

You are on the wrong thread.
