OLYMPIA, Wash. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has released new data showing how COVID-19 is affecting the unvaccinated.
“The new data shows that between February and June 2021, at least 94% of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations in individuals 12 years or older from Washington state occurred in those who were not fully vaccinated,” DOH said in a news release.
Most people in Washington who died of COVID-19 in that time frame were unvaccinated.
DOH:
“We urge those who are eligible to get vaccinated. If they still have questions, we encourage them to speak to their healthcare provider,” said Secretary of Health Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH. “We all have a role to protect our community especially those who are most vulnerable.”
RICHLAND, Wash. Two employees at Roasters Coffee in Richland are speaking out after they were terminated in July for shutting down the stand to try and clean “thick, black mold.”

“I’ve never seen mold just pop up like that anywhere,” Nation said.
In a video taken by Nation on July 11, black mold can be seen inside the Roasters Coffee stand growing on the ceiling, walls, and mini-fridge.
