Cautiously Waiting for a Vaccine

from Charlottesville Quarantine Report · host Sean Tubbs

As we approach another pandemic holiday and beyond, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam offers cautious hope for the not-too-distant future. "A vaccine is in sight and while that take time to distribute and take effect, I hope that just a few months from now we may be past the worst of this. With Thanksgiving a week away, a quarter million Americans have died of COVID-19. The nations top expert on pandemics warns of hard times to come. "We are in the process of another resurgence as we enter into the much colder months of the late fall and early winter as people go indoors much more than outdoors and they're gathering with friends and with family." Dr. Fauci addressed the University of Virginia this week, and Northam held another press conference. In this 50th episode of the Charlottesville Quarantine Report, excerpts of both events, as well as a local update from the Blue Ridge Health District.
