In reply to the discussion: More People Hospitalized in U.S. Areas With Low Vaccine Rates [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)3. Today our county reported a sudden tall vertical spike of 81 new cases.
Memorial Day weekend, no doubt.
But also, this is north GA; last I looked a couple weeks ago, our county vaccination rate was 19%. We're in the more rural, less metro end of the county, so my assumption is the vaccination rate here was below that average.
It's too early for it to have gotten through to recalcitrants here that a) the dramatic drops in case rates and severity do not apply to unvaccinated populations like ours and b) that Covid's getting worse and starting to hit young people harder.
