Your Turn
A full year into the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone’s lives have been transformed into a hard new normal. This pandemic – the worst public health crisis in a century – will be with us for a while, even as we all seek to do our jobs, go to school, enjoy ourselves and carefully gather, travel and live our lives.
The virus has not spared the Big Bend. COVID-19 forced many businesses to close, threw many people out of work, and claimed the lives of more than 450 residents of the four Big Bend counties of Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon and Wakulla.
