Isabella County is on fire again with the virus.
Isabella County has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the state.

Likewise, officials in Broomfield Township did not think the $146,431 in available stimulus funds was needed locally, said Christy Mathewson, supervisor of the Isabella County community of fewer than 1,400 residents. “
We don't have sewer and water. We don't have fire or rescue type funding for that respect, or telecommunication type stuff,” he said, telling Bridge MIchigan the federal dollars were equivalent to roughly 50 percent of the local budget.
The pandemic had a “minimal” impact on Broomfield Township finances, Mathewson added, so “we opted out of (the stimulus funding) and let it go to the other townships that can use it.”
The county's public health department certainly takes a blase approach.
