BELL COUNTY COVID-19 CASES
Total cases - 10,536
Recovered - 8,762
Active - 1,774
Dead - 140 (83 with comorbidities)
After Thanksgiving, there was a spike in COVID cases, in Texas and nationwide. One school district here, Rogers ISD, has already chosen to close early for Christmas break, due to the upward trend in infections.
The good news is that Texas hospitals started receiving and administering vaccines this week. The first available ones are going to health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities. When additional supplies are available, people 65 years of age and older will become eligible to receive the vaccinations before the general population.
I am venturing out for needed items from local stores - of course masks are still required, and social distancing is encouraged. I have, however, gone back to curbside grocery pick-up, as the crowded supermarkets make me uncomfortable. Dan has continued to stay home, following his surgery back on October 26, with the exception of our trip to see our grandkids for Thanksgiving and doctors appointments. We are still worshipping at home, on Sundays, through live-streaming.
We are also planning to gather with family for Christmas. Tim will be driving from Albuquerque, and will join us at Chris and Kelsey's. We pray for God's care, for all of us, during this time away from home.
