WHAT HAPPENED? WE WENT FROM ONE COVID CASE TO 300 IN ONE MONTH
The latest COVID-19 report shows Cumberland County with 300 active COVID cases on August 6th. July 1st, we were down to one case. It looked like COVID was on its way out of Cumberland County. 
Not so. The hospital once again is covered up in the ER with patients who are having COVID symptoms – many of them are being admitted to the hospital. What happened? How did this happen? Of course, like all the other guesses the professionals and others have been giving since COVID hit – we’ll never know what happened. If there’s one thing we’ve learned for sure during the pandemic: no one knows anything for sure. Some are saying there are not enough people getting vaccinated – some are saying it’s the new variant coming in – some say people have been getting out too fast among others since the big shut down. We’ll never know – but one thing we do know – the cases are rising rapidly in Cumberland County. We have no advice other than take all precautions you can.

Get the shot and wear a mask, then we all can be rid of this thing!

It’s happening to people vaccinated so.. No. Also facemaks do not protect you from it.

The shot may be driving some of it. Creating a sense of “I am vaccinated,so I can go back to full normal”. Then you look at the one outbreak that was driven by 74% fully vaccinated vs 26% non vac.

It looks like reality might finally be settling in with regard to Covid? If you think that Covid will not find you, you will be sadly mistaken. Covid Vaccines save lives, period. If you happen to get the Delta variant (likely) you might get sick but it will almost completely protect you from pushing up daisy’s. You have been warned multiple times about the dangers of Covid. I am starting to feel no sympathy to those who disregard the health experts and scientists.
But as you struggle to breathe, develop blood clots and have heart attacks before your put on a ventilator, I will offer my heartfelt thoughts and prayers.
