NORFOLK, Va. — Inez Pruitt has watched the coronavirus spread throughout the world from the relative safety of Tangier Island, a small fishing community in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay.
But the virus is now as close it can get without crossing the water, infecting people on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland.
“I feel like if we got COVID, it would be devastating,” said Pruitt, a physician assistant who operates the island's health clinic. “In my head it has a very high potential of happening. I just hope to God it doesn’t.”

I have relatives there and family raised there God Bless Them and please stay away. The ones in jeopardy are the ones that leave the island daily or work away and return every couple of weeks from work on tugs in NY. Thank you Inez for all that you do.
