    One of the deaths in santa rosa county was a close friend. People should take this virus seriously ..it can kill you or someone you love. Masks help to prevent you from spreading this virus. It may not be a big deal for you if you catch it but it may kill someone you spread it too. I loved my friend, but he is forever gone and I nor his family will never will ever get over the loss. Please wear a mask!
