20. I'm in a very rural county. Have not

seen or heard about mobile vaccine sites around here. The county vaccination rate is only 43%. This past week I saw the new case rate triple in a couple days. Still low compared to last winter and spring, but that quick jump looks like a bad sign of things to come. Our CDC designation went from low to moderate in one week.

Buffalo is an easy drive from here. People go there and back daily. Their county (Erie) CDC designation is "substantial." All Erie Co. offices and buildings have made masks mandatory. Masks are mandatory now for all Buffalo city and Erie County employees and health care workers.

I am also not far from the PA border. The PA county closest to me is very rural and very red. Their vaccination rate is very low and cases are climbing there.

I feel like I'm being hemmed in.
