The US number is 12 with just 4 states above 20. Even Michigan is under 30 now and Florida 17, Plus 18 states including NJ are now in single digits. Yes, NJ is down to just 8 cases and shows how well the vaccinations are solving this problem. Even better there are 6 more states at 10 and 6 at 11. In other words we are days a week away from over half the country being in single digits.

the media is money driven...which every old, respected news person says is the problem.
guess what companies that run theme parks in California and Florida contribute to that???
But...blaming the media is the standard tactic for the worst of politicians...who are on the ego trip/money take and Don’t even bother to hide it anymore. But then they tell you what you see isn’t what you see. Don’t help them.

Yup.... just a bunch of dumb-dumb rednecks down here.
How our COVID positivity rate continues to match the super smart people up North and out West must be just luck.Kudos to the North West. Zero new cases from places like Idaho and Kansas! Hope to see that continue.
Dumb Dumb Alabama only had 24 new cases.... but can't give them any credit.

The problem wasn’t being anti-vaccine, the problem was the downplaying of the severity of covid. They spent months telling people Covid was a political weapon used against him and was being over hyped by the mainstream media. Part of that downplaying was the narrative that Covid is no big deal unless you are old or very sick. You can’t tell people for the better part of a year that Covid is no big deal unless you are old and then expect the same young people to run out and get a vaccine because you said it in one TV interview, especially when you got the vaccine yourself and hid that fact from the public. The reason that base of people are so starkly anti-vaccine is that they are holding on to the narrative that the pandemic was exaggerated to benefit the other side politically. Getting the vaccine would be admitting that Covid is actually a problem. Lots of people won’t give up that fight.

Funny how the reality seem to be playing out exactly how the polls predicted, but when a poll tells you something that doesn‘t fit your narrative you just claim polls can’t be trusted.
These are the states with the highest and lowest vaccination rates
About 46% of all Americans have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine -- but the rates differ depending on where you look.www.cnn.com
The good news is...this isn’t getting political at all

I’ve always thought the main flaw of the Declaration of Independence is the phrase “...but all brains are NOT created equal” should have been added after the first sentence.

They're actually quite comfortable and get a lot of airflow. It's also one party per cabin.

Her implication was that she wouldn't take "President Trump's" vaccine.
She blurred the lines as politicians often do, but that was exactly the message she wanted to get across.

that’s NOT what I’m saying...not tossing the baby with the water.
what I’m saying is there’s a proportionally higher percentage of the adult population following the talking picture box and the Disgraced, loser of a clown.
that’s the numbers...the vaccine numbers...it’s not debatable now that the data is reported. It’s not an opinion poll...which from the start with covid was the problem.
Because it never was an opinion poll.
take the vaccines to get the stuff you want (not “you”...but you get the point)...instead of just whining about getting the stuff.
Big boy/girl thinking time.
and just to debunk next years false excuse: if people don’t get it...and don’t die/get sick...that didn’t make them right. It just means nature isn’t perfect.
So I've been watching both the vaccine numbers and case numbers in New York, being I live there.
Upstate New York has been mostly slower to vaccinate than downstate. With a couple exceptions including Tompkin's county, home of Cornell University and Ithaca College. This educated community is heavily vaccinated, and students and faculty are regularly tested.
Population of the country is only about 100,000. 71% of adults are vaccinated, about 62% of the total population is at least partially vaccinated.
Yesterday's case numbers from Tompkins county: Population of just 100,000 but did 5,602 tests. Yes, 5% of the county, tested every day. Total positive: 1. (Many other days, they test up to 10,000).
1 out of 100,000 positive.
So with 5,000-10,000 tests per day, over the last week: They have been averaging 7 per day. A positivity rate of about 00.1%.
Most of those cases are asymptomatic.

If you look at the actual technical specs of air craft filtration...they are the best designed “indoor” environments for air quality control.
because they had to be...no real margin for “problems”

So...all that "talk" about the pandemic magically going away in Jan on inauguration day? Was that driven by the media...or by a certain faction of a group that has nothing to do with the media?

New York has made plenty of mistakes, but the wisest thing they have done in Covid is ramping up surveillance testing. Tompkins county is extreme -- testing 5-10% of the population daily. But through the state, even with cases dropping, New York is testing 200,000, 1% of the population, per day.
This helps to identify asymptomatic cases -- contact trace, isolate and prevent further outbreaks.
I'm more concerned about parts of the country that haven't bothered to set up surveillance testing.

Easily the most pleasant form of after close transportation back to the resort. Adds quite a bit of value to the hotels on the line.

India is proof that those saying it was going to be bad were right. We're fortunate in America in that state leaders did what was necessary to prevent that.

I've said from the beginning, I am 100% on board with vaccine passports and excluding those who refuse to be vaccinated from certain activities.

ok...but it happened and a lot.
when I hear buffoons saying that in wawas in “blue” New Jersey...it’s certainly worthy of note.
you’re choosing “your side of it”...which we all do. But my hill is taller than yours at this point.
it was a failure of leadership...politics for profit in a health situation. I don’t excuse the media...but if you think that was the “big” problem...you’re being driven like cattle.
I hope they make you into something classy at least...like a porterhouse
