4/8/21: Good news: The U.S. vaccinated four million people in a single day, this past Saturday.
We should note that the Biden administration targeted May 1 as the day on which all adults in all fifty states and Washington D.C. would be eligible for vaccination. The date has now been advanced to April 19.
The death toll remains high, but declines steadily, even as cases have kicked back up slightly.
CDC reports:
4/1: 773 deaths from COVID-19
4/2: 817
4/3: 691
4/4: 368
4/5: 344
4/6: 708**
** I had not originally realized CDC adjusts their totals as additional information is reported. On April 10, I had to alter every one of the daily totals above to reflect more current numbers.
(The
seven-day average for fatalities is the lowest since July 6 – that also had to be adjusted – when the Orange Buffoon was
still a lump in the Oval Office.)
Some states lag others in addressing the threat. According to Becker’s Hospital Review, as of today, New Mexico leads, having vaccinated 26.14 percent of its population. Most other states at the top of the ratings are low-population places like South Dakota, Vermont, and Alaska.
Interestingly enough, the bottom ten states are all Republican-controlled, with D.C. sandwiched in between Texan and Tennessee.
41. Florida
42. Missouri
43. Mississippi
44. South Carolina
45. Texas
46. Arkansas
47. District of Columbia
48. Tennessee
49. Alabama
50. Utah
51. Georgia (last at 13.22
percent of its people)
