Doc Campbell sounds an optimistic note

Seems like many of us have had a new case of COVID or, at the least, we’ve known of someone who has.  So, we thought it a good time this afternoon to take a check of the pandemic temperature with Billy Campbell, Westminster physician.  Dr. Campbell’s attitude?  “Overall, the news is good.”  And he says that when you compare case numbers today with those of this time a year ago.  However, when asked to explain why Oconee and Pickens are among only a few South Carolina counties where transmission remains high, Campbell says he wonders if that is somewhat traceable to a cavalier attitude that many here have taken about a virus that has raged off-and-on for more than three years.
