We are at a critical stage in our community’s fight against COVID-19.
Unfortunately, there has been an exponential increase in cases since the end of October. Archuleta County had a total of 69 cumulative cases as of Oct. 31. That number grew to 371 cases as of press time.
That is a whopping 438 percent increase.
And, sadly, there is no indication of this rate of increase slowing down.
The impact of the pandemic is taking its toll. Most of us are increasingly overwhelmed. We are stressed. We are tired. We are weary.
Many of us have lost friends and family to COVID-19.
