Reported cases of COVID-19 in Navajo County have almost doubled that of the total cases reported in October. On Nov. 20, there were 414 cases, compared to 243 at the end of October.
Navajo County Public Health reported 194 new cases off-tribal lands Nov. 14 - 21. Of the 194, nine people required hospitalization and one person died.
One reason many people don't wear masks on the mountain is that for many people, science has been politicized. I don't care if you flunked 7th grade science or not, this virus is real and it will be around for as long as people ignore the precautions. You refuse to wear a mask and you hate it that so many businesses are closing? Then forget about getting rid of this nasty bug. It won't go away until we are ALL compliant. Yes, there is a vaccine coming, but in the meantime our hospitals are nearing capacity. Store managers are partly responsible. I went in to Tractor Supply yesterday and NOBODY was wearing a mask except the cashier who had it under her nose. Store managers should prevent people from purchasing merchandise unless they wear a mask. Very simple. Apparently, they don't want to anger their customers. I would like to remind them that the virus will never go away unless we all get on board.
