Thanks for the data. Get out your popcorn! Will be interesting to see if it continues to be mild. Saw many more mask wearers when out today here in red county NC.
"Cases per 100K" is a nonsensical metric (even outside of the test giving 97% false positives) as not everybody from those 100K got tested and multiple positive tests from the same person might be counted as multiple cases.
It's like somebody counting Ford Rangers passing by, dividing it by the population size in 100K chunks and claiming they got the number Ford Rangers per 100K population. Bonus, do it every day and measure how it "varies" from weekdays to weekends.
Seems like (at least presently) the states with the lowest vaccination rates are the ones either not experiencing an uptick in reported cases or experiencing a minimal uptick… in comparison to the states with higher vaccination rates. This may be an oversimplified generalization. Plus, maybe some of these states will see their wave of the Omicron come later?
I am a subscriber but don't look at your Posts daily. I try to look at once a week. Okay, I ain't the smartest to understand charts, etc. I have a Master's but was in psychology. A suggestion but maybe I am missing something. On an article like this, could you conclude with your expert analysis at the end of such an article. Or advise I need to figure that out myself dumb shit!
Curious how it hit Hawaii so quickly. Maybe even more curious how it is so fast and uniform in spread. I expect we'll see those graphs go up almost in unison in the days to come.
vt had been touted as "beating" covid until it isn't. nh may be seeing cases in the rural areas lightly populated but generally with vt last year. southern nh where i live is open and free of vaxx hysteria, so far.

Questions to be answered:
1. Number of tests performed by date
2. Definition of a "case" for every state
3. Other factors
Here in FL, what are the odds the uptick is from all the New Yawkers coming south? “Yankee Go Home.”
Check out the county by county data. Very telling especially in SFla where the Yankees fly south for winter.
Oh absolutely… Broward and Dade especially.

Glad to hear you're getting out of California.
Why are PA and DE so different from MD and DC?

I’m sure it has nothing to do with boosters and the post jab drop in immunity.
Reported test postive rates will be soon going down because:
1) People are being told that Omicron is mild, so why get tested
2) People will be having home test kits - so fewer test results will be reported
3) Why get tested at all - the only results are loss of income and having to self-quarantine
if only this data came readily broken down into "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated" portions
