Vermont breaks state's 1-day record for COVID cases for 2nd day in a row

Another grim record for Vermont on Thursday as the count of new COVID-19 cases hit 109.

That breaks the state’s one-day record for new coronavirus cases for the second day in a row and exceeds the six-week projection that health officials presented Tuesday.

The previous record of 72 new cases was set Wednesday, the most since April 3 when there were 70 new cases.

Of the 109 new cases reported Thursday, 46 were in Washington County, which also led the way on Wednesday.

Washington County has been at the center of the hockey broomball outbreak that now accounts for upward of 125 cases.

.. when I checked Johns Hopkins.

It will probably be ZERO states below 1% soon.

Edit: Far better than SD and IA's 50%+ positive test rate, with multiple other states nipping at the half-and-half mark too.

Forty-six of those new cases came from Washington County, where health officials say outbreaks have been traced back to activities including out-of-state traveling, social gatherings, and even deer camps.
