News from the Hamilton County Commission meeting Wednesday offered the rarest of sights in 2020.
There was reason for optimism. Seriously.
County Mayor Jim Coppinger said the first shipments of the coronavirus vaccine were expected this week, and the first round of vaccinations at hospitals happened Thursday.
The county government appears poised and ready when the vaccines do arrive, and that is worthy of praise.
It also got me thinking that, in these days of dread, we need more good news. That’s true whether it’s the story of the Minnesota Dairy Queen drive-thru that had 900 consecutive cars ”pay-it forward” over a two-day period or MacKenzie Scott giving more than $4 billion to people and groups in all 50 states affected by the pandemic.
