There are many things about the COVID pandemic that I do not understand, but there are a whole lot of things I will never understand and that makes almost every day a little more fun. I’ve always been an “inch-by inch, anything’s a cinch” guy and like the shiny side of most of what I find but I cannot find one person who can tell me why Hamilton County’s coronavirus numbers plunged 36 percent last week.
I think a lot of it is due to prayer but I’m going to tell you this: The smartest in white coats are gratified yet mystified. In the last seven days Hamilton County has had 1,409 new and confirmed cases. Sadly, we have had 11 additional deaths when a couple of weeks ago we had that many in one day.
