As of today January 6, 2022, In Douglas County there are 107,918 confirmed cases of Covid-19 since March 2020. They say the data is collected from multiple sources that update at different times and may not always align. But to me, I feel like it sounds about right. I feel like everyone I know has it right now. I feel like Will Smith in the movie “I am Legend” but without the dog. I have 7 children and 4 has covid, along with one grandchild. One of my closest friends and her whole family has it right now. I feel like everyone around me is testing positive and hear I am quarantined in my own home, watching American Horror Story while writing this blog…alone. I spent my evening sanitizing everything from washing walls to cleaning every mirror and doorknobs. I can’t help but to say to myself that I will not be attending anymore large gatherings for a while.
I just watched on the news that the Douglas County Health Department announced 1,547 new positive COVID-19 cases on Thursday in a preliminary report — the highest number of positive tests received since the pandemic began. The Health Department also says if you test positive for COVID-19, you should isolate for five days. You may return to your routine after the 5-day quarantine if you have no symptoms, but you're advised to wear a mask for an additional five days Those exposed to COVID-19 who are not vaccinated should follow the same routine: quarantine for five days and wear a mask for an additional five days. The CDC says this also would apply to those who are six months or more removed from their last mRNA vaccine and have not yet received a booster shot. If you are exposed to COVID-19 and have a booster shot you do not need to quarantine, but you should wear a mask for ten days after exposure, according to the CDC. So, if you are not vaccinated, I suggest that you get it done. I have listed vaccine clinics below. Friday: • Douglas County Health Department, 1111 S. 41st St., 9 a.m.-3 p.m. All vaccines. Saturday: • Kanyaw Baptist Church, 4730 N. 60th Ave 9:00-noon. Pfizer 5-plus. • Girls Inc., 2811 N 45th St. Noon-3 p.m. All vaccines.
