NEWS on COVID-19 in Maryland: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/garrett-county-coronavirus-maryland/2020/12/28/ea3117d0-3fbb-11eb-8bc0-ae155bee4aff_story.html

OAKLAND, Md. — Mark Boucot learned the rural hospital he runs would be left out of the initial vaccine distribution a few days before covid-19 killed his first staff member.

It seemed hope would be slow to reach the Garrett County mountains, just like everything else.

The pandemic initially skirted this eastern edge of Appalachia, but arrived with a vengeance in November. Case rates soared to four times the state average. The small emergency room at Garrett Regional Medical Center, where Boucot is president, was hammered. Coronavirus patients consumed nearly half the hospital’s beds and all of its four-bay intensive care unit.

Isolated in the farthest stretch of Western Maryland, residents did what they could to prepare for the virus, even when the pandemic seemed impossibly far away. But their community was overwhelmed when it materialized. The region’s treasured independent streak didn’t help matters. Locals have been reluctant to distance themselves from family members, slow to admit they are weakened with infection, and — in seven out of 10 cases — unwilling to get a vaccine.

All spring, summer and into the fall, Garrett County saw the pandemic on national news but not at home. It welcomed tourists escaping virus-laden cities and spent federal aid on infrastructure and economic relief rather than testing sites or an intensive campaign to warn skeptics about the coronavirus.

But as Christmas approached and the first shipments of vaccine rolled into bigger towns and cities across the country, the small hospital in Oakland was in distress. Ten people had died in 10 days, doubling the death toll in a county of 29,000. The positivity rate was 17.75 percent, the state’s highest.
