Happy Tuesday! Cassie here with your daily newsletter curation.
Did you know people can smell colors? Well, sort of. Synesthesia is a rare neurological condition in which individuals (synesthete) can experience multiple senses while using one of their senses. For example, a synesthete may be able to consistently see patterns of swirling blue when they smell a taco.
Around 3-5% of the population experiences this phenomenon with women statistically higher to be synesthetes.
There's a COVID outbreak at the community corrections center: More than 20 positive COVID tests were recorded in the last two weeks among staff and clients at Advantage Treatment Center, making the local community corrections facility an outbreak site, according to state criteria. The Montrose center hopes to be COVID-free within a week to 10 days. A "resolved" status would require 14 days of no new positive tests following the isolation period.
MMH COVID-19 patient data: Montrose Memorial Hospital's Chief Marketing Officer Leann Tobin reported that as of 6 a.m. Monday morning, staff was caring for six patients with COVID-19. Four were in the ICU and two were in the Med/Surgical unit of the hospital.
You can catch up on Saturday's COVID Roundup here.
