Letter: The caring people among us
Published: 1/25/2021 12:01:06 AM
My husband, John, and I want to thank the 911 operator, Shelly, whose calming voice and gentle manner worked wonders, the Gilmanton Fire Department EMTs, and all the nurses at Lakes Region General Hospital for their help with our medical emergency on Jan. 17. The care my husband received from all was outstanding and very much appreciated. We are all very fortunate to have these caring people around us.

The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 in the state is trending downward, giving hospital staff some relief after seeing record patient numbers during the winter holidays.
After peaking at 322 adults hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 statewide on Jan. 2, there were approximately 254 people hospitalized with the novel coronavirus as of Jan. 19. That’s still nearly twice the number of concurrent hospitalized patients that New Hampshire facilities saw in April and May during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
