Sort the Worldometer chart by deaths per million. We are 18th worst. Now take out tiny nations with populations under six million, where an initial outbreak can distort figures, and we are top ten. I wouldn't say that is anything to be pleased with.

Highlight:

Only 36% in USA have been fully vaccinated. 28% in my state. Why nobody in masks in supermarkets? [View all] Doodley May 2021 OP

Just grabbed some groceries at HT in SC Shermann May 2021 #1

In Jacksonville FL the mask signs were all gone at the 3 stores I stopped at this morning. lark May 2021 #3

I will continue to wear my mask and continue to wear gloves, even though fully vaccinated. Doodley May 2021 #5

As long as people who want the vaccine can get one... Calculating May 2021 #2

Exactly. NT TxGuitar May 2021 #7

YES!!!! beaglelover May 2021 #20

Then at least try to care about the 0-12 year olds, Ms. Toad May 2021 #35

I'm with you. I bet some on the CDC panel, in their heart of hearts, agree. nt LAS14 May 2021 #36

I am personally very troubled by this. madaboutharry May 2021 #4

Agreed MAH. We should look at nations that have handled the coronavirus best and learn from them. Doodley May 2021 #6

Unfortunately we are one of the countries doing better. Nt cinematicdiversions May 2021 #10

More deaths than any other nation. That is doing better? Doodley May 2021 #11

We actually count them. Nt cinematicdiversions May 2021 #12

Yes Trump did a great job! (sarcasm) Doodley May 2021 #16

We should never look at absolute numbers, only rates per amount of population. nt LAS14 May 2021 #38

Schools and businesses will pressure people to get the vaccine. Yavin4 May 2021 #8

People are safe, under the conditions that were measured by the data - Ms. Toad May 2021 #37

People are 100% safe from hospitilaztion and death. Think about... LAS14 May 2021 #40

That is not correct. Ms. Toad May 2021 #41

The percentage is so miniscule that it works out to 100% LAS14 May 2021 #44

First, you are wrong. Ms. Toad May 2021 #47

9245 breakthrough cases out of over 100 million vaccinated Americans NickB79 May 2021 #49

And the 112 who have already died (more by now, I'm sure) and their families, Ms. Toad May 2021 #50

I'm not dismissing their lives. I'm celebrating the efficacy of the vaccine NickB79 May 2021 #52

That does make the vaccine 100% effective. Ms. Toad May 2021 #55

Have you done the math and accounted for rounding? nt LAS14 May 2021 #57

You do understand that if any rounding occurs, the number becomes an approximation, right? Ms. Toad May 2021 #58

The approximation is within .0001 (see elsewhere in thread). Normally, LAS14 May 2021 #59

Your contention is that the vaccine is 100% effective against deaths. Ms. Toad May 2021 #60

You count the percent of vaccinated people, not breakthrough cases. nt LAS14 May 2021 #61

The calculations I just did in the last post used your error (from 100%) Ms. Toad May 2021 #62

Sorry, I don't understand you here. nt LAS14 May 2021 #63

There are 5 million people vaccinated, roughly. Ms. Toad May 2021 #64

Almost 600,000 have died... kentuck May 2021 #9

+1 dalton99a May 2021 #13

There haven't been studies to see how many have already had the virus. Doodley May 2021 #14

True. kentuck May 2021 #19

Exactly! You can't just count vaccinations when determining herd immunity. beaglelover May 2021 #21

There is no understanding of how well a past Covid illness vaccinated a person from future illness. Johonny May 2021 #42

LA county is expected to reach herd immunity by late July. beaglelover May 2021 #43

I had covid and the vaccine. Be careful not to double count. boston bean May 2021 #31

That is true. kentuck May 2021 #32

What are you on about? BannonsLiver May 2021 #15

Starting this week I'm back to ordering grocery delivery. sarcasmo May 2021 #17

I agree. What about the front line workers who may not be vaccinated? Do they matter? Kahuna May 2021 #18

Of course they matter, but they should be vaccinated by now. beaglelover May 2021 #22

Some choose not to be luv2fly May 2021 #23

Well I'm not going to continue to wear a mask to protect people who are choosing not to be beaglelover May 2021 #24

Minneapolis: have received at least one dose: whites: 71%, Hispanics: 35%, Blacks: 28%, progree May 2021 #26

Because it clashes with the narrative that it is only cinematicdiversions May 2021 #29

My point is they didn't have to do this now. It could wait another month or two before... Kahuna May 2021 #30

That's exactly how I feel about it. DangerousRhythm May 2021 #34

+1 appalachiablue May 2021 #54

It shocked me, Mr.Bill May 2021 #56

It is at the least a little odd. The CDC has admitted that we are on an "honor system"... TreasonousBastard May 2021 #25

My county never had a mask mandate although my grocery store requested you wear one GulfCoast66 May 2021 #27

One word: rownesheck May 2021 #28

I'm afraid you are probably right. arkielib May 2021 #33

I think I'll go with the judgment of the CDC over Random Internet Guy tritsofme May 2021 #39

Why open the expressway when the bridge is only 1/2 way... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Initech May 2021 #45

You Do Know This Is A Recommendation, But... ProfessorGAC May 2021 #46

States are going to have a hard time keeping mask mandates cinematicdiversions May 2021 #51
