Im sure you can find the same "Florida Behavior" in regards to COVID in central PA. Or near hunts house. yeah, it's not that difficult. the trumpier the area, the better the chance folks don't believe in mask wearing or the vaccine. it really is that simple.

Biden literally just went against CDC guidance and he's an 80-something dementia patient who is at way higher risk. Maskless, indoors, surrounded by other maskless people: This is why people instinctively resort to a dismissive wanking gesture every time the CDC tells them to do something. I'm sure you were about to make an angry post about Biden, right?

Yep. The entire COVID topic was totally politicized in the US during a period of bitter political division. Trump gets the lion’s share of the blame.

We all gave Trump crap for not leading from the front and this is no different.

An article stating "40% of new cases are of fully vaccinated people" lacks the context of whether that area is very high in vax compliance, and whether those case numbers are indicative of high levels of community spread regardless of vax status. Is it 40 out of 100 new cases for a country with 5 million people and 80% total vax compliance? Or 4,000 out of 10,000 new cases for a country of 5 million with 50% vax compliance? The difference between the two scenarios are worlds apart.

As someone pointed out earlier, Israel is testing everyone basically to find every breakthrough infection. In places where the US is doing that (e.g., the Yankees), we are seeing asymptomatic breakthrough infections (i.e., people that likely wouldn't have otherwise been tested). But the key is -- are the vaccines preventing serious illness, hospitalization and deaths? The answer is resoundingly yes. The stats being used about X% of cases being in vaccinated people are ridiculous attempts to justify the stupidity of choosing not the be vaccinated. I wish the media were more responsible with these stats and put them in the proper context.

I wish the media were more responsible with these stats and put them in the proper context. It also speaks to a critical difference of scope. When tracking breakthrough infections, a mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic case is of little clinical relevance. If you're trying to determine when hospitals of a given area may reach capacity, you don't really care about mild or asymptomatic disease. But from an epidemiological standpoint, tracking severity is of less relevance when trying to determine levels of community spread. If you're trying to predict how fast the virus might be spreading in a given area, then you need all the data you can get regarding all cases where a person has tested positive, regardless of disease severity.

I wish the media were more responsible with these stats and put them in the proper context. in past waves case numbers were early indicators for a hospitalization and death wave. the encouraging thing about places like Israel (and their ~90% vaccination rate) is their hospitalization rates have only gone up a small amount and their death rates are basically zero (< 2 persons / day) weeks after this surge in cases started, and that's VERY encouraging.
