Why these 2 Missouri counties' COVID-19 surges are among worst in the country

Sun, 2021-06-06 13:10 — mike kraft
Why these 2 Missouri counties' COVID-19 surges are among worst in the country Sherry Weldon thought the worst of the pandemic was over for Livingston County, a rural area in northern Missouri, after the winter. "Then in May, it just hit really quick -- with a vengeance," Weldon, the administrator of the Livingston County Health Department, told ABC News. Whereas the county typically saw five to 10 new COVID-19 cases daily during the winter, they've consistently been seeing 20 to 25 now, Weldon said. MEREDITH DELISO YahooNews

Contact Tracing fades but needs exist for better public health work force in the future.

Fri, 2021-06-04 19:42 — mike kraft

Here's one (more) sign the COVID-19 pandemic is on the decline in the United States.

NPR's latest survey of state health departments with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security finds many are winding down the contact tracing programs they scrambled to grow last year. More than half of the 36 health departments that responded to the survey in late May had fewer tracers than in December, and the vast majority isn't planning to hire more.

In a way, that makes sense. With coronavirus infections tapering off in most parts of the country, public health experts said a smaller workforce may be able to keep on top of current outbreaks.
