These days leading up to summer are so gorgeous and bright; and they seem to beckon us to forget the sickness that pervades the world. But we are warriors in more ways than one. We must continue to arm ourselves against this sickness. We must continue to wear masks and gloves, continue to disinfect everyone and everything, clean like mad, wash our hands, and keep our distance. By doing so, we may protect our loved ones, other people, and, perhaps, even ourselves.
That being said, I thought it might be a good thing to inform you how the Appalachian states are doing. I have compiled screenshots of data (between 6/1/2020 and 6/4/2020) from each state’s health department and arranged them in a gallery underneath each state’s name. Clicking on the state also takes you to each of their Covid-19 information pages, where you can interact with maps or peruse other information they provide.
