  1. Good afternoon,

    I love the Boca News website and read it on a daily basis. I sincerely appreciate all the information you guys post! Thank you for that.

    If possible, would be great if you guys displayed an article with the age range of the people currently infected in FL. I also concur with your opinion that some people are not taking this seriously. Thanks again!
