Some good news
I will be taking a much-needed vacation next week, so this will be my last newsletter for a bit, and I wanted to leave you all with some good news. All of the key metrics used to track the pandemic – new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths – are trending down in Hamilton County and across the U.S. That’s not to say that COVID-19 isn’t still a threat (a close family friend was diagnosed this week), but it’s definitely a step in the right direction and wouldn’t be possible without these highly effective and safe vaccines. Now that ages 12-15 have access to a vaccine, too, let’s hope that we have more good news to share in the coming months.
Stay healthy,
