COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - As the first doses of the Moderna vaccine arrive in communities across the country, some South Carolina doctors are worried people are growing tired of masks and social distancing. They say hospitalizations are quickly rising in the Palmetto State, and they warn the Christmas holiday could lead to the largest surge yet.
“Those individuals that come in sick with this disease, struggling to breathe, have to be supported and are very sick; This is real,” explained Dr. Steve Shelton, one of Prisma Health’s leaders in their COVID-19 response.
