⚠️ Arkansas has taken the new COVID case lead over Missouri. Here's their county-level vaccination rate (left) vs. new case rates (right):
⚠️ Missouri is still on fire, however. County-level vaxx rate on the left, new case rate on the right:
⚠️ Florida has switched to only releasing county-level data once per week, so these are already out of date, but the Sunshine state has leapt into 3rd place nationally.
⚠️ Louisiana.
⚠️ And no, it's not just red states: Nevada is in the top five as well, and there it's being driven almost entirely by Clark County.
⚠️ Texas by request. Note the R^2 is lower than I had it last week because I've switched *all* states to *fully* vaccinated only for consistency (previously TX, CA and a few other states were based on total doses administered):

A question for @cyrusshahpar46 re. Massachusetts vaccination data. CDC has Dukes & Nantucket down as just 3.2% & 1.1%, which makes little sense.
However, the @WCVB tracker has Nantucket at 95% vaxxed and most of the Dukes towns/villages down as ~95%: wcvb.com/article/massac…
I'm assuming this is due to the nature of both of them--resorts/vacation homes? Are only the caretakers considered permanent residents, while the other ~28,000 listed by the Census Bureau as living in Dukes/Nantucket actually live elsewhere most of the year or something? Thanks.
Until I hear otherwise I'm assuming the local town/village-level data is accurate and that Dukes/Nantucket are both at least 90%+ vaccinated. If I'm wrong please clarify, thanks!
The @UrbanInstitute recently estimated #S499 as costing around $350 billion net over a decade...but that *included* making the #AmRescuePlan's subsidies permanent, which are apparently already baked into the #AmFamiliesPlan regardless at an estimated cost of $163B. 1/
The rest of #SilverToGold would presumably cost ~$187 billion...but a more limited version might not end up costing anything net (instead of going to 85/90/95 AV, the upgrade might go to 90/95 only, with everyone over 300% FPL still getting a Gold 80 AV plan, for instance).
The press release says 2 million, but the details indicate that it's over 2.1 million:
--1,522,283 via HealthCare.Gov
--an additional 600,000 via the 15 state-based exchanges
--As @xpostfactoid and I have pointed out repeatedly, the biggest factor re. how much SEP enrollment is up over the pre-COVID era is whether a state has expanded Medicaid or not:
--Expansion states: up 2.4x over 2019
--Non-Expansion states: up 4.0x over 2019
--@SecBecerra & @BrooksLaSureCMS announced over 2.0 million SEP enrollments in #ACA exchange plans to date *nationally*
--1.5 Million via HC.gov; ~500K via state-based exchanges
--1.2 million of them have a plan costing <$10/month
--CMS is announcing exchange *and* Medicaid/CHIP numbers together
--As of February 2021, Medicaid/CHIP enrollment was 81 million
