A deadly outbreak in Manatee County, Florida, offers a cautionary tale.
Two people are dead after a recent COVID-19 outbreak in the IT department of a county government building in Manatee County, Florida ― leaving only one person, who was vaccinated, unscathed. Of the six known exposures that occurred around the same time, at least four people have reportedly been hospitalized and two have died. One of those people died last week in the hospital, while the other one died at home, Dr. Scott Hopes, a county administrator and epidemiologist, told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “That’s a 40% case fatality rate,” Hopes told Bay News 9. “That’s a high fatality rate.”More Related News
