Pandemic 2020

Wisconsin Republicans have been fighting for months to limit or eliminate unemployment benefits for their state in the face of the coronavirus. But they’ve found one group they want to help: the unvaccinated.

Well this is a start
Hopefully it catches on

Covid is seeking out the unvaccinated, whether they are Trumpers, kids, the innocent victims of disinformation and the uneducated. It's not just in the southern USA that it's getting bad either, many states with high vaxx rates have millions of potential unvaccinated victims. Without wide spread enforced mask mandates, social distancing and shutting down restaurants, bars and gyms, delta will have exponential growth among the unvaccinated.

Delta variant causing COVID-19 cases to spread 'like wildfire' in Washington
Health officials said COVID-19 cases are approaching levels last seen in the winter 2020 surge.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — COVID-19 cases are “spreading like wildfire” among adults as well as children in Washington and state health officials said Friday they are extremely concerned.

Department of Health (DOH) officials said in a news release the rapid acceleration in cases is demonstrating the delta variant’s potential to unravel the state’s hard-fought progress toward recovery.

Health officials say unvaccinated people are being hit hardest and they are urging everyone who hasn't gotten fully vaccinated to do so immediately.

"We are extremely concerned by this increased spike in cases, driven by the delta variant, spreading like wildfire amongst men, women, and children,” said Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah. “Vaccination the best tool we have in this pandemic, but we also recommend that individuals mask indoors, and avoid large, crowded settings vaccinated or not."

Within the last 30 days, officials say the majority of counties have seen substantial case increases.

Here's the county break down from the DOH:

Only seven counties (Kittitas, Okanogan, Ferry, Klickitat, Walla Walla, Jefferson, Garfield, Grays Harbor) have seen cases increase less than 100% .
Twelve counties (Adams, Thurston, Snohomish, Benton, Skamania, Whatcom, Skagit, Kitsap, Yakima, Cowlitz, Mason, Grant) have seen cases increase between 100-299%.
Ten counties (Clallam, Stevens, Asotin, Whitman, Franklin, Spokane, King, Clark, Lewis, Pierce) have seen cases increase between 300-599%.
Six counties (Pend Oreille, Douglas, Lincoln, Pacific, Chelan, Island) have seen cases increase more than 600%.
Columbia, San Juan and Wahkiakum counties have among the fewest cases.
...

It's much the same north of the border in BC Canada. Of eligible people over 12, in BC, 82.6% have had a single dose and 72% a second dose. Most of the seniors over 60 are fully vaccinated and it's younger folks waiting on a second dose for the most part.

Politics is the only reason for the difference in vaccine uptake between Canada and the USA, we've got just as many regularly stupid people, but the Americans have an extra burden of republican idiots.

B.C. had 717 new COVID-19 cases, no deaths, in past 24 hours

There were 717 new COVID-19 cases identified in British Columbia in the past 24 hours, the most single-day cases in the province since early May. Of these, 376 came from the Interior.

The new cases bring the total positive tests in the province to 155,079, but there are now 4,277 active cases. Active cases jumped again by 443 since Thursday and 57 per cent of B.C.'s active cases, 2,446, are among Interior residents.

COVID-19 hospitalizations across B.C. jumped by one, to 82, and 39 people are now being treated in intensive care.

No new COVID deaths were announced Friday, and the province's total COVID deaths remain at 1,779. To date, 167 Interior residents with COVID-19 have died.

In the past 24 hours, 22,824 doses of vaccine were administered in the province.

As of Friday, 82.4 per cent, or 3,818,952 eligible people 12 and older in B.C. have received their first dose, while 72 per cent, or 3,337,348 people, have received their second dose.

Those who haven't registered to get a vaccine yet can do so here, but pop-up vaccination clinics are operating across the Interior, where preregistration is not required.

There are now 11 active COVID-19 outbreaks in the province

This page illustrates the difference that politics can make when fighting a deadly pandemic. A few months ago during the Alpha wave, some places in Canada were ahead in the North American rankings. We were way behind America on vaccine roll out then, but have since passed America in the rate of vaccinations. This difference is starkly demonstrated with this list of states/provinces. The single dose vaccine rate in Canada is over 80% among the eligible with over 71% fully vaccinated.

COVID-19 in the U.S.: How do Canada's provinces rank against American states?

TORONTO -- How do Canadian provinces and territories compare to American states in terms of COVID-19 cases? We’ve calculated reported cases per million people each day of the pandemic to get an idea of how the two countries stack up. During the first two waves of the pandemic, Canada’s highest-reporting regions were low compared to places south of the border. But in the third wave, that’s changed. As of mid April, Canada’s seven-day average reached its highest point of the pandemic.

I bet they're pretty upset in trump world with trump's Supreme Court picks doing the opposite of what they want.


"Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Thursday opted not to block an Indiana University vaccine mandate, giving no explanation as to why in declining to unravel the school’s rule that students, faculty and staff must get the Covid-19 shot."

"Barrett, an appointee of President Donald Trump, is the circuit justice for the 7th Circuit, which covers Indiana. She denied the motion for emergency relief from multiple students who challenged the university’s mandate, acting by herself rather than referring it to the full court."

if it's a requirement of employment then you will lose your case. employers are allowed to change what is required and they notify you through your company handbook.

righties..always so backward and will make 5 steps out of the way (or move goal posts) to accommodate those who refuse to follow rule of law that everyone else follows.

drivers license..car insurance? driving proper side of road? why do we do that? why do we follow those laws? why don't we just do what we want?

nice this lady wasn't available for comment because she was at Mike Lindell's Lollapaloozers Symposium..in case it's not clear SHE LEAKED VOTING INFORMATION TO A CONSPIRACY SITE AND NOW WE HAVE TO THROW AWAY THOSE MACHINES.

i can't wait to hear what the governor has to say..i know he's not going to be amused. Mesa County- why are they always in Colorado news? always wanting to opt-out..not follow the rules that governor has set and explained over and over to about why they need to do shit.

Colorado is the model of mail-in voting and other voting practices that states look to us..these fvcking crazy people are everywhere.

Texas wasteland…

Party of @Rob Roy, all I care about is myself.

How are these governors not able to be arrested ( derelict of duty or injury to others ) some fucking thing … I cannot wrap my head around the cavalier attitude, i mean they arrest individuals that start fires , steal a fucking six pack and you are in a police car.

He will be and is responsible for all the results - the deaths … the irresponsibility. There should be a wave of litigation from families that have to weather the cost of their health and deaths.

Am i missing something ? …. They smile and gloat.

I will put this way , if this was a century ago , i would be a wanted man for multiple killings.
