Vaccination rates by state.

I like the way the future EC is shaping up.

If the pandemic hit in 2018, you'd have a point. Now they have a decade to spawn.

Cool map.

Stop it on June 8, 2021 and hover over the second "most red" level on the scale bar. You'll see one ND county that day: Steele. Let's assume that it was worst of range, 56 per 100k.

Steele County has 1975 people; 1 of 1975 is same as 56 per 100k (that second red shade). So one person in Steele County ND. (Probably a relative of mine.)

But if 1 person in the county makes "red", how is Steele ever anything but clear or red? It shows yellow at times. Half a person? I'm not denying the data, I just find that a curiosity. Or am I missing something in the presentation?


About Sturgis, USA Today is claiming that 0.09%, not me. The "260k cases" claim (see USA article) seems outlandish, but the other reported numbers, to get 0.09%, seem "cases low" also.

It's a seven-day average.

LOL. Those morons.

What's up with MO? Is that Branson?

MO now? That's Delta wreaking havoc. I posted about it a page or two ago.

Essentially they didn't get hit that hard in the main waves (not sure how) and they haven't had high vaccination rates. So the most contagious version of COVID we've seen is now going to find every person it can and, well, they're getting hit hard.

Yeah but why MO specifically? What is the super spreader goatsee there? And then I thought of a place where the derps gather thick.

I'd have guessed more "Lake of the Osarks" than Branson. Let's just say Branson is a much more ... staid ... crowd.

LotO you ask? Think Lake Travis (Austin TX) but with more moonshine. And banjos. (<-- sounds like at Tuesday at Kep's!)

Nothing AFAIK. It's just how contagious delta is. It doesn't take much when your (estimated) R0 is 5-8. You don't need an event. You just need a month. 1 = 5-8 = 25-64 = 125-512 = 625-4096

USA Today fact checking doesn't seem to agree with the Post's "massive surge" statement in the article.

This is nonsense.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/250-000-covid-19-infections-sturgis-made-numbers-s-d-n1239657
Even if that 266,xxx number is overstated (it's probably not), claiming that there were less than 200 people infected is absurd nonsense.


Stop believing everything that confirms your bias.
