Since the first local cases emerged this past spring, the virus has altered our everyday lives, cleared our calendars of community events, and added a spice of danger to even our most mundane daily errands. To date, nearly 700 Fluvanna residents have been diagnosed with the virus, 52 have been hospitalized, and nine have died.
Very few of us will be sorry to put 2020 in the rearview mirror, but you can’t say it hasn’t been one for history books. So, before we ring in the New Year, let’s take one last (and maybe not-so-fond) look back.
Rabies
Before COVID-19, the community faced a much more familiar pathogen: rabies. After a rabid dog attacked and seriously injured a child as she walked home from school in late December, several local animal shelters and groups organized a free rabies vaccination clinic at Pleasant Grove on Jan. 8. More than 450 previously unvaccinated animals were treated, and no further cases were found in the county.
