âIâm hopeful that our numbers will start to come back down and weâll get those numbers, within a month, to a â I donât know, thereâs no better number â but to a much lower number,â Browning said, âand then Iâm hopeful that the more the vaccine gets out to people that weâll see a steady decline. Iâm hopeful of that.â
