    Wow, what is happening in Santa Rosa? The percent spiked to 24.9% on Saturday. Could it be some of those outspoken Miltonians, who declared their resistance to wearing masks are now contracting the virus? Wake up people. Other, larger Cities, such as Tampa and Orlando seem to be getting it under control, with percentages under 10%.
