This is the picture of failure. Map was all yellow with some green a few weeks ago

scoll to the second map - becoming more and more orange - and wondering when some red will start appearing.

The picture of willful ignorance, I suppose.

1. Right now, people are traveling through all states carrying Delta variant.

Look for ND and SD to join the ranks of rising cases very soon.

2. Thank you so much for this great map, my dear NewHendoLib!

I've signed up for updates.

It's a little scary how accurate it is, but I want to know and be able to keep informed as time passes.

Thank You!

3. It's hard to feel sorry for those who won't get vaccinated

Though I do feel sorry for their families when they are denied the vaccine. I did some shopping today; no one was wearing a mask anywhere I went. Well maybe 1 or 2 out of hundreds.

5. People are being denied the vaccine. Had not heard that.

In Florida anyone over 12 can get it. I guess that’s what you mean.

[JackSabbath]

12. I think maybe..

..they meant a parent not letting the rest of the family receive the vaccine

[captain queeg]

13. Yeah that's what I was thinking

But in some RW households I wouldn’t doubt there are husbands who will not “allow” their wife to get vaccinated.

15. Child abuse in my opinion.

Maybe kids are different today. But at 15 I would have defied my parents and taken it on the sly.

I was that kind of kid. Not bad, mind you. But self willed.

4. Death rate among unvaccinated will have to explode to convince these MFers.

[GulfCoast66]

6. Even that won't do it. They are just dying to own us.

[Hoyt]

7. Likely true. Glad they will die happy.

[SoCalDavidS]

8. Not Me

I hope they die with deep regret and pain.

9. Dumbass governors in Arkansas and Missouri

[Yavin4]

10. I think their numbers are for total population of each state, not 18+.

For example, they have NY at 61% for Vaccinated, 1 Dose, but that 61% is for ALL NYers including children for example. For adults, 18+, it's 73% at one dose and 66.5% at two doses.

11. We will know it's really bad in the low vaccination states...

when Faux Snooze flips from virus is a hoax to its a liberal plot to kill Dump lovers.

[Captain Zero]

14. Christy Noem has to be a fudger

SD can't be one of the lowest.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. The green color is based on cases per 100k people.

Yet SD's positive test rate is 7%, which SUCKS since the vaccines were rolled out.

Something's wrong in that SD data somewhere.

It's possible that the state is barely testing anyone, which would naturally lower the confirmed new cases per 100k.

Edit:
Confirmed through Johns Hopkins's website that South Dakota is one of the least-tested states in the country -- only about 31 Covid tests per 100k according to them!
Testing in the NE states are generally 10 to 15 times higher, despite their high vaccination and low infection rates!

18. They've achieved herd immunity through infection

Twitter thread, comparing it to Vermont:

Link to tweet

Vermont has vaccinated (1+ shot) nearly 75% of its population

SD? 50%

Vermont has a high degree of immunity through vaccinations

So how does SD have high population immunity?

Prior infections

Here's how pandemic has played out in both states

And you can see it in the suffering of the people of the two states

Deaths per capita from COVID in VT vs SD

Nearly 6 times as many folks in SD died from COVID as VT

40/100K in VT versus 230/100K in South Dakota

16. Yep, here we go again!

This map only had brown around the central USA, such as Missouri and Arkansas, not long ago. Then it kept spreading to one contiguous state after another.
