I read that Sumter County is averaging 19 cases per day, the number of cases is on the rise, and the county is high risk for unvaccinated people. And there are people who have been vaccinated who have had break through infection, and although I personally know some who are very sick, they are not in the hospital. Even though we in the community are probably (and I'm guessing here) maybe 80% vaccinated, people are visiting family or have grandkids who are not vaccinated, which could fuel the spread. Even though vaccinated, I wear a mask in some public settings like the grocery store, to protect other whose immunity may be compromised (cancer treatments for example) who have been unable to be vaccinated or the vaccination may not be as effective for them. And to help control the spread of variants and mutations.
