Breaking news: Local hospitals report 21 more COVID patients, total 102

The city of Pensacola has reported that local hospitals have added 21 more COVID patients since yesterday:

Ascension Sacred Heart: 37
Baptist: 18
West Florida Hospital: 47

Total 102 – 25.9% increase over July 2

It has become a sad coincidence whenever Commissioner Doug Underhill touts something that he believes proves the public shouldn’t worry about the pandemic, the data soars in the opposite direction.

Update: We’ve received clarification Baptist total includes daily cases at Gulf Breeze Hospital.
