    Why is the county not reporting the number of deaths?? This is information that the public needs to know!

    This is just rediculous. A totally preventable disease and ignorant people getting seriously sick and some dying. It’s coming for you people who are not vaccinated. It’s just a matter of when. Sick minds mean sick bodies. Scared of a little vaccine and yet willing to suffer tremendously from a deadly disease disease hate you could prevent. Stupidity at its max.

    With cases surging, why is the FDOH releasing less information? Failure to report Covid deaths seems to imply that the public doesn’t need those statistics. Ignorance is not bliss.

    THESE ARE UNVACCINATED FOLKS!

    We can stop this, by getting vaccinated.

    Let’s get our life back, vaccinate.

    Don’t fall for the misinformation, facts are vaccinations are safe and very very effective.

    you can get it and no one will have to know, if could save your life and others.
