The Commonwealth might have a higher rate of k-vaccination overall, but breakouts will happen in communities where that percentage is lower. And that “roughly” 95% is actually not good enough if we are interested in protecting people.

What’s the rate in the Fredericksburg area? I have met too many parents around here who have not vaccinated their kids for “religious” reasons to feel confident it is close to what it needs to be to achieve herd immunity

to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.

And what is the protocol at Spotsylvania and MWHC hospitals when a suspected case enters their building?

Pre-2019 non essential workers were sent home from an INOVA hospital when a patient showed up with a suspected case. The patient was put in a negative pressure room and everyone who interacted with them had to wear PPE.

Given public health measures aren’t what they were before COVID, I seriously question whether or not healthcare facilities will do their part to prevent spread to the public.
