COVID-19

There's more than enough chatter about Montana newbies, but I had an extraordinary opportunity to pick the brains of teenagers who had moved to Montana in the last couple of years.

This is insane. They're kicking DAV volunteer drivers to the curb over a vaccine mandate? I say again- they want to kick VOLUNTEERS to the curb?

I witnessed something incredible during a very dark time.

These posts are simply to compare symptoms with others who have fallen ill with COVID-19. The good news: Day 2 also had food delivery from Fabers and tons of garbage TV. The fever and body aches are still my biggest problem.

So, yeah. I'm vaccinated, booted and still very careful. Yet here I am, positive for COVID-19 and VERY SYMPTOMATIC, btw. Let me take you on the tour of what has happened.

Millions of Americans took advantage of ordering 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests from the federal government and they've been arriving in mailboxes for the last few days.

Again with the highest number of active cases and the highest number of NEW positive COVID-19 cases, Gallatin County continues to be the 'hotspot' of Montana.

It's becoming a broken record: another day, another several hundred cases of COVID-19 in Gallatin County. Of the 1,831 new cases in Montana, 503 of them are in Gallatin County.

It's becoming a regular occurrence. Gallatin County tops the State of Montana in new cases of COVID-19, and also has the highest number of current cases of all Montana counties with 835.

As of Tuesday, nearly 40% of all new positive COVID-19 cases in Montana were in Gallatin County. There are 408 active cases with 159 new cases recorded according to the State of Montana COVID-19 dashboard.
