ROANOKE, Va. – As vaccination rates slow, infections of COVID-19 and hospitalizations of those infected increase.
Tuesday, CDC officials reversed their mask recommendation in certain circumstances.
“In areas with substantial and high transmission, the CDC recommends fully vaccinated people wear masks in public indoor settings,” said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. She spoke to reporters by phone.
“Many weeks ago we would just have two to three hospitalized. In the last couple of weeks, upwards of twenty individuals would be hospitalized,” admitted Dr. Anthony Baffoe-Bonnie. He is an infection prevention and control specialist at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

A year with the virus


The word “apocalyptic” actually appeared in a Jan. 1, 2020, headline in this newspaper. It was used to modify the noun “wildfires,” which were scorching millions of acres a world away.
The day’s paper brought news of far-away catastrophes. As Australia burned, thousands were swept up in floods in Indonesia and dozens of zoo animals perished in a Berlin fire.
Locally, the news was rather ho-hum. Roanoke County planned a broadband survey to figure out which areas were unserved or underserved.
Turns out, we’d all discover soon enough how critical broadband is to education, health care, commerce, and even just to see family and friends.

"I'm feeling good. I'm feeling really good,” said Ellsworth.
He doesn’t feel the same way when it comes to taking the vaccine.
"A lot of people are, but I’m not,” he adds.
He isn't the only one who is hesitant. That's why local organization Celebrate Healthcare hosted a COVID-19 vaccine "Facts vs. Fiction" webinar to address the community's concerns - starting with the development of the vaccine.
"To produce something that fast where we've had viruses and diseases and things that have been around for years and there is still no vaccine for it..." Ellsworth says as he questions the time it took to create the vaccine.
