Health officials reported the first case of coronavirus in Vermont on March 7, 2020 — only 47 days after it was detected in the U.S.
Since then, Vermont has seen multiple waves, and lulls, of the virus. With the widespread availability of a vaccine in the U.S., the worst of the pandemic appears to be over. Cases have dropped precipitously and, on June 14, the state passed an important milestone: more than 80 percent of eligible Vermonters — those ages 12 and older — have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. To celebrate the accomplishment, Gov. Phil Scott lifted all remaining pandemic-era restrictions.

Coronavirus will be wiping out Lamoille County. People are having big parties, be ccx ause no school, no work. A friend has seen this, too. Shouldn’t be too long before population zero.
Many Vermonters who report mild symptoms are not being tested because there are still not enough test kits. Further, many people have either have very mild symptoms and don’t report, or have no symptoms at all and thus don’t report. Consequently, the number of people infected with COVID-19 is almost certainly much higher than is being reported.
