The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources confirmed 888 new COVID-19 cases and 21 additional deaths in its report on Nov. 4.
According to first and second person reports, the death toll for Calhoun citizens, other Calhoun residents that died in another county or state, and Calhoun-connected citizens likely tops 25 deaths since the pandemic started.
Several dozen Calhoun citizens with COVID-19 have been left with serious and debilitating health problems, some under 30 years of age.
Calhoun is approaching 1,000 COVID-19 cases.
West Virginia is leading the nation with vaccines, although WV adults and children have been taking mandated vaccines for nearly a century, eliminating most of the deadly diseases that have taken lives.
West Virginia is also slacking on booster shots, and polling indicates many do not want their children vaccinated.
Many citizens are fraught with believing political conspiracy theories.
