Ohio and PA have 6,000+

Look at Europe, Germany has 60,000, Holland and France have 20,000 and Eastern European countries are seeing new cases at their highest levels since Covid began. Look at the bar graphs. It is shocking.

Boosters should be made available to all adults in the US by the FDA by Friday. Several states have already made boosters available to all adults this last week.

My guess is that no more than 50% of those fully vaccinated, will get booster shots.

Combined with the fact we're going to probably top out below 70% vaccinated, I expect this pandemic to be around forever.

Except they are increasing. Or whatever the state bothers to report right now. Maybe the REASON Dane’s cases were so low is because we have a high vax rate AND a mask mandate? Just guessing here.

In Clark County, where I live, 20% of all COVID deaths have taken place since Sept. 1. And more than 20% of all cases in that same time. The stupid is strong here.
