Today’s South Carolina (and Oconee) COVID numbers

Today’s numbers:  2,736 new South Carolina cases; 72 Oconee cases.  Statewide:  five new deaths (none in Oconee).  Of 10,798 test results received statewide, the new positivity is 25.3%.  According to Dr. Traxler, the state’s acting health director, South Carolina is experiencing a “small plateau” in both case and death numbers.  But it means that while the case and death numbers are not increasing, they are not decreasing.  Which re-enforces the need to be inoculated and to continue to practice simple face covering and social distancing practices.
