I think getting a unified approach to demonstrating safety and care for the health of the public during all of this, covid.. confusion etc.., could bring a lot of positive impact on the community, restaurants, employees and employers, locals and visitors. We thrive on our industry, let's do right and show everyone in the country we know how and care about keeping people safe and businesses functioning. Just a thought

Did this last report come with any details about why the numbers shot up from 1 to 32 in one day? I know I’m a stickler for logical explanations but numbers like these really invite more questions than they provide answers.

There will always be a lag in reports of these statistics due to basic human response/reporting time etc.. with margins of error accounting for deviations in reporting day to day. The trend analysis and charting are great to look at without having to focus on specific +/- 1 differences. Looking at numbers alone can definitely be confusing =)

From 1 per day to 32 is not confusing. “Suspicious” is the word that comes to mind.

Just saying stats can deviate a lot if there is no real consistent reporting structure or reliable control methods. 32 is a large deviation, saying it increased 32 in one day may have some literal issues, why trend analysis is preferred for me =)

Honest question, and apologies if the answer is obvious, but cannot seem to find anything on it after a good bit of searching - is there a comprehensive list of the Walton communities they use which is available anywhere? Would like to see who is still reporting -0-, but need that list to do it and scratching my head a bit with the reported data, as it includes a mix of formally-incorporated towns (e.g., DeFuniak Springs), unincorporated towns (e.g., Gaskin), etc.

Closest thing I could find thus far is the voting precint map (https://www.votewalton.com/Portals/Walton/Documents/Maps/CountyVotingPrecinctsMap_2019.pdf). Interesting if that is it, since Point Washington and Rosemary show nothing yet (other than any potential "non-residents," of course).

Thx!

No details or explanation except that these numbers do not include cases from private labs or local medical offices such as Doc Smiley in Seagrove who reported 20 positive cases last week.

We do not know the real numbers.
