UPDATED: COVID is not over

UPDATED:

There is a NEW NYT COVID tracker that better encapsulates COVID as it wanes.

Track Covid-19 in the U.S. as of April 3, 2023 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/covid-cases.html

Although the most cases are confined to hot spots around the USA, COVID (and Omicron XXB sub-variants) is still very much alive and kicking in central and eastern regions. I added the percentage of vaccinated to the NYT map from last week. On the site, it is interactive so that you can click on any county and see how you are doing, or see how your family and friends are doing. If I were American, I would check if the hot-spots are Republican. (I am not, however I bet at least 3/4 are GQP!) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html

USA COVID cases hospitalized, deaths - all times

About this data: The map shows the known locations of cumulative

Sadly, the NM cases look high in reservation areas. They are super poor and many homes lack electricity and/or running water. Once again the US says fuck you to its most vulnerable. We're a disgrace.

I was thinking that people of colour and poverty may also be a problem but had no insight into it to comment. Thank you for that information. As always, children are the most vulnerable in those situations.

At one point early in the pandemic, the Navajo Nation had the highest case rate in the world and they physically locked down their borders. It's been heartbreaking. We've had good leadership in New Mexico (thanks, Governer Michelle Lujan Grisham!) but the extensive poverty had terrible consequences.
