If positive COVID cases continue at their present trajectory, the Newtown Health District could be tracking more than 500 positive cases by the weekend — at least 100 of which are currently active, according to Health District Director Donna Culbert.

Health District Director Donna Culbert believes Newtown is poised to see its COVID-19 alert status elevated to orange due to the mounting number of positive cases among residents.
After logging 2,651 new cases of COVID-19 and 11 virus-related deaths since last Friday, Governor Ned Lamont is instituting what he called “Phase 2.1” restrictions.
National Guard Captain and Army Dental Officer Sean Lee, DDS, MOS is inviting his brothers and sisters in arms for a free dental exam and no-cost treatment on Veterans Day, November 11.
Hours after Governor Ned Lamont revealed Connecticut’s 6.1 percent positivity rate October 29 — describing the surge in cases like a “gut punch” — two local hospitals have begun limiting visitation to help prevent COVID-19 transmissions to patients and staff.
Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps (NVAC) responders and local paramedics have answered calls involving hundreds showing symptoms of the coronavirus — and have so far been able to attest that everyone remains COVID-free.
Oh, please! It is not just Republicans who are worried about potential fraud and undue influence in elections, and with good reason. A recent Rasmussen poll showed over 60% of likely voters felt fraud had influenced the 2020 election. Now why would they think that when Blue state election officials refuse to pare their rolls of thousands of ineligible voters, federal forms do not allow officials to check citizenship status and Republican poll watchers were not allowed to observe in Democrat cities like Detroit and Philadelphia. In addition, many municipalities have more registered voters than eligible citizens! Add that to Mark Zuckerberg donating 500 million to the 2020 election, 99% of it going to Democrat strongholds, 50 former Defense and Intelligence officials stating the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, plus Fulton County being sanctioned for incompetent running of the 2020 election.
It is only logical to hold approval till after the election to see if the numbers add up. Democrats are already telling us that results will be delayed, wink, wink!
Don I tend to agree with you. However since the "National Republican Party" in general supports some unpopular and unsupported opinions it would be nice to know where our 3 Hartford representatives stand on election integrity, abortion, climate and immigrants.
Those commenting against the development fail to mention the positives. The "historic" road will be preserved and protected with 33 feet from the center and open to the public Currently its private property), 90 acres will be preserved for every, and 40 acres will be developed with city sewers and water, protection the entire property from 127 homes septic tanks. Is it the same as no development, no, but way better than 127 potential homes developed on the entire property. This is a fair deal from the town and the owner of the property. If the NCC were to win there would be no further development in Newtown, since almost all their arguments are no growth, no build.
