    I am so impressed with stores that are stepping up to do their part. This weekend I had to go into a local grocery store. As I came out a woman was headed in. She was stopped and told that a mask was required. She was not happy but she pulled one out of her purse and put it on. People just wear the darn masks, what on earth don’t you understand!

    In our little town of Cantonment, the virus vs. population comes to 1 in 52 with the virus now. It’s worse now than ever. The shutdown didn’t last long enough because of greed and politics. Please continue to stay home or wear masks if you must go out.

    REGARDING:
    “it’s only a matter of time before Escambia will suffer because of our close proximity to SR”

    If/as it happens, it will mostly be because of our actions rather than theirs. A hundred feet of spacing will more than stop the virus from infecting.

    But people from the two counties visit each other, so the statement of effect is right, especially among those who share the face-free philosophy as they meet and share.

    Folks,

    Something is happening in Santa Rosa. Two days ago the positive rate was 24.6%; yesterday it hit 33.4%, with 283 new cases. If this is a result of the Milton folks refusing to wear a mask it’s only a matter of time before Escambia will suffer because of our close proximity to SR. Wear a mask! Social distance! Stay home!
