Covid Still Around, But Manageable in Greater Gardner MA
To put things in perspective, in the State of Massachusetts, there have been 20,341 confirmed Covid deaths so far. That’s like wiping a small City like Gardner right off the map. While the death rate has dropped, there are still over 2 deaths from Covid per day in the State. Average age of patients who die of Covid in MA is now 80. Right now in the State there are 72 patients in ICU’s with 22 patients intubated. On October 4, 2022, there were a total of 758 people in the State of MA hospitalized with Covid-19. So if you’re wondering why medical offices, clinics, and hospitals still want you to wear a mask, it’s because for them Covid has not yet gone away.
