There is simply no reason that anyone over the age of 70 has not been fully vaccinated. Every death is tragic, but at least the trajectory is looking much more promising. Get vaccinated people!

Sang Co: Woman in her 30’s dies after testing positive on April 4th…
The virus moving around is impossible to understand now… reporting out of California is in LA the virus is hard to find. LA county’s 7 day average is 762 cases.
Michigan’s last wave seems to be waning as quickly as it started.
Hopeful the virus is burning itself out here too. But the ravages left behind will not be forgotten.

As a way to encourage vaccination, could the statistics include the numbers of hospitalizations that were not vaccinated, same for ICU’s, ventilators. People do have the right to not be vaccinated, but this would help show that vaccines work.

That appears to be the lowest single day vaccination number for the state since Easter Sunday. Fewer than 30% have been fully vaccinated statewide, there appear to be plenty of appointments in most areas, what’s wrong with people?

Hopefully those vaccination numbers will go up again, and rapidly, now that the suspension of the J&J vaccine has been lifted.
