Sedgwick County and Kansas are in the worst shape they’ve been since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, with hospitals being overwhelmed, vaccination rates stagnating, and residents and businesses almost universally ignoring recommendations to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and its variants, the county’s health officer said Wednesday. “I want you to know we are at the point we had all hoped would never occur,” Dr. Garold Minns told county commissioners on Wednesday morning. “Ever since this pandemic started we were hoping to avoid this situation, but we are at a crisis. “We had all hoped by two years this thing would be over. It’s not over. It’s just beginning.”
