The current confirmed total COVID-19 cases (2,499), means that just under 16.05% of the residents of Lawrence have been known to test positive, which likely means that at somewhere around either side of half of the citizens in Lawrence County unofficially came down with the virus and its numerous range of symptoms.
Everyone in the Lawrence County & local regions and across the state are cautiously hoping that these lowering of all the COVID-19 cases numbers in the past couple of weeks continues, and that there will not be the repeat of what happened at the end of the fall season 2020 in all the way through the winter into early spring 2021, with the massive second wave (and some states a third wave) of the various coronavirus variants that led to the major spike in deaths and hospitalizations across the United
States.
Fingers crossed folks; Fingers-Crossed ++.
