Friday marked a milestone. It’s one that passed without any celebration, but in my mind, at least it marked a turning point worth noting.

“Please note: Due to a decline in COVID19 case numbers, today, Friday, March 11 will be the last social media update. The county dashboard will continue to be updated for those interested in the daily numbers. If there is a spike in COVID-19 numbers, we will resume our daily social media updates.”
