Daily around noon, St. Mary’s County Health Department provides a summary on their website of Covid cases here in the County. I check it to see how the areas I travel thru are doing in comparison to the rest of the County. For the longest time the news was pretty good as most of my stomping grounds were Covid-free.
Well, things have changed and definitely not for the better. In the last couple of weeks, confirmed cases have surged everywhere in the County to include my areas in the First and Second Districts. (Check out the first Health Department chart by placing your cursor over the trend line and you’ll see that confirmed cases have doubled since 11 November (click here.))
Subsequent charts breakdown the number of Confirmed Covid Cases in the County by Zipcode. The following is yesterday’s 29 December’s summary. (I have listed and highlited the ones I am interested in, but if you’d like to verify some of the other Zipcode locations that I was too lazy to enter, I included the Zipcode chart below for your reference purposes. (Always thinking of my readers here on the Buzzyblog you know!)

You’ll note that most of the Zips I am interested in tend to be on the lower end of the chart. The bad news is that it was only in the last month that these numbers for these areas grew like they did. Previously, Ridge and Scotland were not even on the list. (Note this does not mean that there were zero cases in those areas because the number of cases are only listed once a Zipcode has 8 positives.)
