I’ve become dependent on the chart. Where’d it go?
DeN Snyder says
Yesterday’s chart stopped reporting the number of nursing home cases and deaths. This information was helpful in understanding what’s happening in Kent County. I am wondering why it was omitted yesterday. Today there is no chart at all. I —for one— would appreciate the Spy doing the full chart again. Thanks.
