Maine
A Maine doctor is choosing to look on the brighter side of the situation. Dr. Puthiery Va, director of the Maine CDC, says that the surge in COVID levels is somewhat expected.
She says that COVID has been following a predictable pattern that includes a summer surge, and travel is a likely factor. So, what does this mean going into the fall season?
What reassures Dr. Puthiery is that the degree of impact on how sick people are getting and are passing away is much, much lower than the earlier surges, and she thinks that’s worth mentioning.
South Carolina
Generally speaking, the winter is a much worse surge in COVID levels than what we see in the summer. But in South Carolina, that doesn’t seem to be the case, according to South Carolina’s COVID-19 tracking team.
