FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - No place in Michigan is safe from the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus.

Every single county, all 83 of them, declared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as high risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Dr. Jennifer Morse is the Medical Director for Central Michigan District Health Department. She said that last year when the first vaccine was being approved, she was hopeful that we would not be in this position.

”You know hindsight is always 20/20,” said Morse.

Social distancing, face coverings and the three approved vaccines have been proven to help prevent the spread of the virus. The doctor was hoping more people would have gotten on board by now. But, that has not happened.

”I have never witnessed such a just malignant spread of falsified information just really directed to make people fearful and scared of something that could save lives,” she said.

Dr. Morse called it unfortunate. Just over 50% of Michigan’s eligible population is fully vaccinated. The other half, that is not vaccinated, is driving the current rapid spread of the virus which is mostly impacting school aged kids who are not yet eligible for the vaccine.

”Absolutely if we want to protect our children we need to get vaccinated as adults”, she said.

3. My son and I are living proof of this, we have breakthough cases of covid.

I had left my house twice since July, in late August, and came down sick in early September. I'm just now coming out of it, and my son tested positive last weekend. According to the local Health Dept. the likely suspects where I caught it were a local trip to the barber, and a party store for a potty stop 2 days later in west Michigan where no one was masked. The barber shop is suspect because we got into it with a Magat covidiot maskhole.

We are both fully vaxxed, thankfully, otherwise I would be in deep....

4. I'm surprised by how many people I see masked in the stores, here in Flint Township

Not everyone, but quite a few. I still do a good hand sanitizing before I take mine off, in the car and I try to do any shopping as early as possible.

I get my booster on Monday. I'm going to be EXTRA careful for the next 3 weeks. And I'll still be wearing a mask, probably all Winter. I like not catching colds.
