We were there too! Hi!
They use needles with filters for blood draws, hate for the microchip to clog the lineExcellent news.
Did they say if they found any of Bill Gates’ microchips in your blood
There are more variables at play than simply "doing better." Texas dropped all the mitigation (banned local mandates etc.) a lot sooner than Florida and Texas has a 5% lower percent of the population with at least one shot of the vaccine yet has around half of the new daily case rate.
There's a nice color coded map at https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations. While the lowest percentage States mostly correlate with another colored map (GA excluded), they are also very rural.Why don’t you post a chart with the state vaccination levels?
then maybe we can get nasa on it and see if all the MIT guys can find a pattern/correlation?
*waves* We were sitting at the small counter between noon and 1:00.
I can tell my Dad was very happy I could visit again, so I may try to come back earlier than expected. Don’t expect WDW will have lifted blockout for cast, so he is already asking about AP resort rates at Universal if I do come back.Prior to December 2020 the magic number not to tequire quarantines was 10 cases per 100,000. Florida came close to reaching it in September but just missed. Now, they are making a run at it and this time we all know they will mske it. My only issue is that back in January, Florida had a much better rate than either NJ or NY BUT NOW ARE MUCH HIGHER. I want this pandemic declared over in the US and that wont happen until every state is under 5. We are not that far away but neef to just keep following common sense health standards. I do love the fact that some people are complaining that I am calling out Florida now after months of saying how much better they were doing than NY and NJ.

I'm not complaining. Just stating that there are a lot more variables at play than we are considering and it isn't as simple as just "doing better." Look at Colorado, 53.2% of the population with at least one shot, a mitigation supportive governor yet has the second highest daily case rate (second to Delaware). At the same time, Texas is worse than FL in all pandemic management metrics and has a much lower case rate than FL.
To date, 86.6% of 65+ in FL have had at least one shot. Also, to date, 82% of COVID fatalities in FL were 65+. The "at risk" population is protecting themselves by getting vaccinated. I expect that it will eventually get to 90% or a little more.
Explain Texas. The epidemiologists would have certainly predicted a much higher case rate now with the lack of mitigation and low-ish vaccination rate.
Yeah, I'm now worried about NJ and NY in during this fall/winter. Is NJ and NY will be back to normal as low cases in this fall/winter too?
In reality FL is doing “better” than TX with 48% of the population with at least one dose while TX is at 43%. I know it’s a broken record and I’m certainly not wishing for anyone’s numbers to get worse, but the variants are a lot more common in FL than TX and a lot more contagious. If the variants were to arrive and spread more heavily in TX not having many mitigations left and having a below average vaccination rate will not be a good combo. Let’s hope that never happens. 43% isn’t zero, but there’s still a great deal of work to do.

Anyone know the prevalence of variants in Colorado these days? It was shown that Michigan exploded and it was heavily driven by the variants, same with CA in Jan and the NE in March. In CA it took months for the spike to drop down since few people were vaccinated. As we have seen in the NE the variant driven spike was smaller than past waves and short lived due to vaccination levels.
Your explanation would probably be that because the narrative has been that the seniors were high risk and should be prioritized for vaccination and young people really aren't at risk the younger demographic "bought in" and decided they don't need the vaccine.
