Some of you may remember last winter I was freaking out trying to get people to post public comments opposing some last-minute time bombs that Trump's CMS Admin tried to plant on her way out the door.
The comment project was great but she shoved them through anyway....
...FORTUNATELY, the Biden Admin grabbed them and stopped them in their tracks anyway, and is now officially flushing them down the drain.
Last week SCOTUS saved the ACA; today CMS reversed some peripheral damage before it started. Mazel Tov to @SecBecerra & @BrooksLaSureCMS!
Of TOTAL population:
--MA should break 65% by Wednesday
--RI breaks 60%
--NJ on verge of 55%
--N. Mariana Islands break 50%
--PR should break 50% tomorrow
--UT & MT on verge of 45%
--GA should break 40% soon
--AL should break 35% soon
--Nationally, we'll hit 50% tomorrow
For those wondering, here's every state by education level (% over 25 yrs old w/bachelor's or higher):
Yes, there HAVE been times when it's used in a cynical/doublespeak way, usually by Republicans , who usually use it in the sense that "Anyone can go to the Emergency Room!" 2/
The response to THAT usage is usually to make a sarcastic metaphor like "Everyone has *access* to a Porsche in the sense that they're allowed to buy one, but that doesn't mean they can afford to!" 3/
π£ NEW: With Missouri apparently being the first state to see a major #DeltaVariant surge, I decided to run a SECOND county-level scatter plot to compare vaccination levels (left) versus new cases per 1,000 residents (since June 1st). Yowza.
It's impossible to make out most of the county names, but all 11 of the circled counties on the left can be found in the circled part of the blob on the right.
The 11 counties with the highest new case surges range from 23% - 32% fully vaccinated.
All 6 of the counties in the blue/purple regions range from 37% - 46% fully vaccinated.
I've only run the new case graph for one state so far.
π£π£ βAn Associated Press analysis of available government data from May shows that βbreakthroughβ infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. Thatβs about 0.1%.β
π£π£ βAnd only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people. That translates to about 0.8%, or five deaths per day on average.β
