this could make a difference in close elections. Same with Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and more.

Ohio is getting bad right now. They've been a swing state before.

Here in Texas, a month or two ago, vaccinated hospitalized cases we're at 8%.

Yesterday, they were at 18.1%.

I think information to this group requires no more than middle school level.

This is a great graphic, but is about high school level or higher in today's literacy levels.

Thanks for posting!

100% of the residents and about 95% of the staff were fully vaccinated so I expect it was a visitor that brought the virus into the facility. BC has now mandated all health care workers (including non-medical staff and volunteers) must be fully vaccinated by the 26th of October. The BC Nurses Union, who have been complaining constantly about government inaction on our health care emergency, are opposing the measure as they say it will cause even more nurses to quit the profession. We are currently seeing a mass exodus due to burnout from Covid and the opioid crisis.

You could not make this stuff up even for a movie. A free vaccine, available pretty much everywhere, they could watch for many months others get it just fine before deciding to get it.....and this many people still refused and are dying at a rate of over 2000/day. Many have major known risk factors such as obesity, yet still decided to believe Hannity over Fauci.

2000/day dying could only be achieved through epic ignorance, arrogance, and right wing media and politicians. Took decades of work to get this sheer volume of dimwits in our country.

It's not going to look as impressive if they showed results starting in July.
