Early on, victims of the coronavirus were mostly residents of the county's two nursing homes. Now, it's younger residents too. Coroner Adrick Ingram sees young people in town not wearing masks and gathering in big groups, and it frustrates him. ''I see people who aren't taking it seriously, maybe because they don't see what I see. They don't get to look in people's faces when they've lost somebody.''
