The unvaccinated, with few exceptions, fear the vaccine, predominant medical experts, the government, etc. Then, those of us who are vaccinated and boosted our concern and fear is directed to a virus that has killed over 800,000 people...and counting. So the question in the mind of a reasonable person would be what do the facts... not notions, not hearsay, not non medical opinions, etc. say? There’s no contest here folks. There’s only a contest because despite the facts, people who have not one iota of medical expertise have cultivated your mostly unfounded ...fear....for political and monetary gain. Sad what people will do for power and money. As old as history itself. This is really at its core is about concern and fear.

COVID deaths are usually reported weeks after they actually happen. This number is not very reflective of anything, actually. Some Ron DeSantis trickery to make things look Rosey. You're better off looking at the CDCs monthly/yearly death counts for the county to get a more accurate number.

If 114 people were hospitalized in our county for the same reason (like a massive accident or food-borne illness) it would be considered a catastrophe. Stop minimizing the local impact Covid is having on our county to fit your political narrative. Also note: 114 people hospitalized.

I lean toward inferring from your claim about "Please Note:No Deaths" that you want people to not wear mask and to not get vaccinated? Is that because you want the death numbers to increase? Having no deaths is a big plus in pointing out that being vaccinated helps people survive becoming infected with Covid 19. It is not a partisan thing. It is a matter of science and math. @ El Duque,
