Why these 2 Missouri counties' COVID-19 surges are among worst in the country

Sun, 2021-06-06 13:10 — mike kraft
Why these 2 Missouri counties' COVID-19 surges are among worst in the country Sherry Weldon thought the worst of the pandemic was over for Livingston County, a rural area in northern Missouri, after the winter. "Then in May, it just hit really quick -- with a vengeance," Weldon, the administrator of the Livingston County Health Department, told ABC News.

Sat, 2021-05-22 14:32 — mike kraft
