It's usually nice to be number one in something, but not this time. Colbert County is leading the state in new COVID cases.
From AL.com:
Meanwhile, many counties in north Alabama saw big increases over those two weeks. None saw a bigger spike than Colbert County, in northwestern Alabama in the Shoals area. The 7-day average per capita more than doubled there, up to a state-leading 48 cases per 10,000 residents per day.
All we can say is that must have been some Christmas party!
Now the question is why? Is Colbert an IT hub? Is Colbert near an Interstate? Has Colbert recently hosted a national event? We could go on, but you get the idea.
History tells us that at one time no one understood how the Black Plague was transmitted. Even in the past 50 years, no one knew how AIDS was being transmitted. Now in 2022 everyone knows how COVID is transmitted.
Bottom line: People just don't care...
