COVID-19 IN VERMONT
April 2: Patients tended to be older than the average Vermont population. Two-thirds were above the age of 65, compared to 20% of Vermonters overall, according to Census data. Most of the cases were caught at either the emergency room or at a long-term care facility. Eleven had pre-existing conditions such as respiratory issues or diabetes. There were 8 deaths at Burlington Health & Rehabilitation, a nursing home, and three were residents at Pinecrest, a senior housing community in Essex. Source.
The first preliminary description of outcomes among patients with COVID-19 in the United States indicates that fatality was highest in persons aged >85, ranging from 10% to 27%, followed by 3% to 11% among persons aged 65-84 years, 1% to 3% among persons aged 55-64 years, <1% among persons aged 20-54 years, and no fatalities among persons aged <19 years.

Tom Candon of Shelburne, Vermont has spent a lifetime traveling his home state, following a boyhood dream of seeing and learning about all of its 251 towns. "My father, a mortgage loan officer for the Veteran's Association, crisscrossed Vermont inspecting homes that were being purchased by returning WWII veterans," recalls Tom. "As a child growing up in Rutland, I loved the opportunity to ride along."
It was not until 1972, when he accepted a position with the Vermont League of Cities and Towns that Tom began to track his visits toward 251 Club recognition.
"Perhaps I was reluctant to accept the finality of reaching my 251 goal, but a visit to Sandgate eluded me for forty-six years. Every time I drove to the Bennington County area, getting off the new Route 7 and driving to Sandgate and back seemed a bit out of the way—like I could not get there from where I was! Finally, on a weekend stay in Manchester in 2018, I purposefully made the trip to Sandgate."
