Here’s the September 2024 dashboard summary. We continue semi-regular COVID-19 dashboard numbers from the Vermont Department of Health, and MA and NH counties that surround Brattleboro, as long as they continue providing them. Scroll down the new comments for the latest.
VT, NH and MA do weekly updates, near the end of the week, so we update on Fridays usually. All three have changed their dashboards since the start, so it is now tough to easily compare how things have changed. Variant updates are every two weeks.
Here are links to the full list of dashboard summaries: August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2024, December, November,October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2023, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2022, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2021, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, and April 2020.

It goes on and on
Today marks 4.5 years since I locked down on Friday the 13th, 2020. I’ve had the first 3 shots, did the protocols, and tested positive for Covid 4 times since then. Twice I caught it from a BMH employee, once from a school employee, and once from a friend who didn’t know she had it. Each time after the first bout was easier, until the 4th was barely a flu. It’s obviously still going on, and still has potential to kill. Will it ever be over?
