i see Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia are also on a sustained downturns.
And Texas has plateaued. Yet the media is focusing their COVID coverage on The South.

What is interesting from this site is that high vaccination areas still had similar curves but obviously hospitalizations did not sky rocket. That tells me a couple things:

1. The vaccine is great personal protection for current iterations of Covid

2. The virus is still out there and spreading around. What that means, I’m not really sure.

Good news! The media highlights things that will get them clicks; no big deal. The trend will ineluctably assert itself. The media can only extend it a week or two.

Once Delta subsides, the public will be inured to this, and it will be impossible to sustain any more lockdowns due to new variants. Variants will come and go. This will be the reality for the rest of our lives. The number of folks who understand that is increasing constantly. Soon it will be a permanent majority and the politicians will follow along.

I believe all of those states are in the south.

Largely conservative, less vax rate than other parts of the country. There’s always a political angle.

The south has been the undisputed hot spot this wave. The downward trend is very promising.
