>400,000 cases this year. >10,000 deaths.
Some other states that have lost an high rate of lives this year:
There are several states with less than 50% of the population fully vaccinated 10 months after vaccinations started.
The fact that cases and deaths are decreasing in these states now is no comfort to the fact that we lost a lot of lives after arrival of effective vaccines. The vaccination rates have unfortunately been very low. And it's not due to vaccine shortage.
Cases and deaths are decreasing now as the delta wave recedes and a lot of people got immunity through the more risky route of Covid infection, with high loss of life.
