Numbers mean so much

Dear Editor:

Last week an executive director of LincolnHealth stopped by the Thrift Store, just to say hello and to congratulate us on the reopening of the shop, with guidelines being observed.. The conversation about numbers and that there is so much bad, terrifying news out there took place. Television, printed material and every day conversions.

News flash: he had these numbers to talk about. Note it was a week ago. Nevertheless, fantastic numbers regarding the following: St. Andrews Campus, Cove's Edge and Lincoln County: Gregory Wing, zero cases; Cove's Edge, zero cases; Lincoln County 15 cases, 12 recoveries; hospitalizations, zero; and deaths, zero.

Many, many thanks to the wonderful staff at these facilities. You all are amazing and dedicated. Good news and good numbers to be shared.
