It’s back.
Two weeks ago, our hospital had 0 COVID patients admitted down from highs of 55 in April and 44 in December. Just like that we are back up to 12 in just a couple days. Elsewhere in Connecticut, the head coach of the woman’s top ranked basketball team missed the opening round of the NCAA tournament with COVID. Some girls my daughter plays basketball with had to quarantine due to exposure to people with COVID and on the COVID ACT Now, map, Connecticut has again turned red, signifying.
From all I have read, the cause is likely the arrival of the COVID variants that are more infectious than the original COVID. We are all hoping that our high and ever increasing vaccination rate (33% 1st dose/18.6% fully vaccinated) will soon overcome the variants, but we can’t be certain.
I am worried about the number of people who are still refusing to get vaccinated. It was a huge relief for me to get my shots, and I hope others will soon make the decision to bare their arms for their country.
