I wish they would/could disaggregate the data so we could see vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. I fear the unvaccinated think they are at less risk because the overall numbers are improving.

I like seeing these numbers on the downward slope every day.

The data is out there. The Washington Post ran a good article last week showing the positivity rate among the non-vaccinated. The numbers aren’t good and in some areas when adjusted for the population are higher than when we were at the peak.

Very positive seeing the current numbers. This I what I thought we would see in early April - but I was way off. Glad the slope down is finally here to what looks like a new plateau.

There will be all these pockets of willfully ignorant anti-vaxxers who will be the petri dishes for the next COVID variant to feast upon and spread.
