COVID-19 2020

I agree they are good numbers, but I think we wanted to hit those numbers with the entire population
So what are the numbers with the 'ineligible'

but I was giving the rare pat on the back for those heathen MD folks…they just can't be trusted and they have sweaty palms

These are really not bad numbers. If the government would get off their ass and extend vaccines to all school-age children so you see those numbers increase by another 6-8% and stop being so skimpy with the boosters, we'd beat this thing down pretty quickly.

Looking at this:

I would say maybe 10.35% of US populaton is 5-11. Are you saying 60-80% of 5-11 age group will be vaccinated? Highly doubt it.

unfortunately this has become a MAGA vs the Libs thing
but I think in general kids that age are vaxed up to the 90% level on previous vaxes, so why not this one (see point above)
I don't have any stats

Here's your same 6 states without factoring out "ineligibles":

Fully vaxed % of entire population
MD 64.4%
NY 64.1%
DC 61.5%
WA 61.0%
VA 60.8%
CA 59.3%

At least one dose % of entire population
DC 72.5%
CA 72.1%
NY 71.8%
MD 70.9%
VA 68.6%
WA 67.4%

OK, fair. 6% is probably your ceiling not your floor. But the underlying point remains that start to get real close to that 70-75% figure that we still think is the "when does R become < 1".

You guys are burying the lede.

Montgomery County residents % of Population ≥ 12 Years of Age with at least one dose = 98.6%, and fully vaccinated = 89.4%

Oh, huh, yeah, white flight works? Who could have guessed. If only we had an appropriate thread where a thought leader could tell people all about these sort of "rich get richer" type of stories. If only . . .

aren't these the people they based the Mole People movie on?

Were California county mask mandates effective against delta? Here's what the data says.

What we learned in SF is that they were less effective against fentanyl….

This Billy Corgan wannabe sounds like a sweet fellow.

Tea party firebrand Allen West, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Texas, said Saturday that he has received monoclonal antibody injections after being diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Yup…if only someone had realized more needed to be done than telling people to get vaccinated

By my count about 300,000 Americans have died since Biden took over… bound to have an impact on approval

Anybody else wishing a serious case of COVID for Kyrie Irving?

He is certainly ticking me off…

I don’t know how a sports team puts up with him… this is not a civil rights issue or something

I don't know how much you two follow sport but anti-vaxxing is like the 18th dumbest thing Kyrie Irving has ever done. Dude is a straight wackadoodle. Flat Earther. Convinced he's the smartest person in ever room he's ever entered. Imminently punchable.

Yeah I know that… although I would say this is up there

Sounds like it's a civil rights issue for Kyrie.

Irving, who serves as a vice president on the executive committee of the players’ union, recently started following and liking Instagram posts from a conspiracy theorist who claims that “secret societies” are implanting vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for “a plan of Satan.” This Moderna microchip misinformation campaign has spread across multiple NBA locker rooms and group chats, according to several of the dozen-plus current players, Hall-of-Famers, league executives, arena workers and virologists interviewed for this story over the past week.

I’m not saying Kyrie is wrong (still doing the research for myself) but couldn’t all his fears be accomplished just by tracking his iPhone, online presence etc.? 

Does avoiding getting microchipped like the rest of us even solve the problem?
