Nearly everyone in Shannon County has seen what the COVID-19 virus can do to a person.
Last week as the local health center held a vaccination clinic, tourists flocked to the county of 8,000 in Southern Missouri, where residents have borne their fair share of the virus’ wrath.
Armand Spurgin knew one of the first people to have a confirmed positive case in the county. Sherri Vincent has beat back the virus twice, and the fogginess that came with it still lingers.
