Itâs been an unsettling week in Rappahannock County as COVID-19 continues its tight grip on a rural community that for months enjoyed relatively few cases of coronavirus in comparison to surrounding counties and other regions of the commonwealth.
Now, per capita, tiny Rappahannock County suddenly has more new daily cases on average than heavily populated Fairfax County. Nearby Falls Church, which has double the population (14,772) of Rappahannock County, has had only 11 more residents (123) test positive for COVID-19 than weâve experienced here.
Seemingly overnight â as in the three weeks since mid-November â an additional three dozen Rappahannock residents have tested positive for the virus. At press time Wednesday, the countyâs overall COVID-19 count stood at 112, with seven hospitalizations and two deaths.

Remembering Rappahannock land steward Phil Irwin

Phil Irwin, we have little doubt, was smiling down on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meeting Monday night, where his customary wicker chair sat empty for once, draped in black mourning cloth.
For months on end, until his untimely passing last Thursday, Irwin had pleaded with county officials to adopt without further delay the long overdue 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Fine-tune it, he encouraged, but do so in subsequent months and years. A working document, he proposed, kept current with the times.Â
