I'd love to know where all these workers are. Coronavirus or not, how are they paying their bills? That's the reason folks were working before

That's the one part of this I can't figure out. There hasn't been a stimmy in a while, and if you were laid off in the first few months of the pandemic (when almost all the job losses occurred) the extended unemployment has expired.

I'm not sure how the big group of people who used to be in the labor force and currently aren't working are paying bills.

Sure they are. They both push a narrative and keep you distracted from what is really going on in the world.
GBO!!

Is the narrative to produce high quality programming and to keep me so entertained I'm not worried about the fact that Kamala Harris has been MIA since the inauguration?

Over half the country is unvaccinated so I’d venture to say it’s spreading amongst them as well, yet still no spike in hospitalizations.

That’s not true unless you’re counting the booster which just became relevant. 204M people have received the two dose regiment which is 62% of the total population. Of those actually “eligible” that percentage is 66%.

I went thru all the graphs for the states listed. Honestly the graphs don’t support the article title best I can tell. Best as I can tell vax rate doesn’t appear to have any good correlation with affecting hospitalization rate one way or the other 🤷‍♂️

The NY Times graph on hospitalizations nationwide show a 50% increase since early November. 7 day avg from 41K----->62K

Ok. I was just commenting on the article title and the graphs in the article itself. It just didn’t seem to me there was any correlation to vax rate and hospitalization rate. In both categories many states remained the same or fell. Texas is one of the largest population states in the union and was in the low vax rate category and it was flat. I believe Florida was flat too? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: TX was low vax rate FL was high vax rate.

Covid is so new there is no normal

It was said that we're not seeing a spike in hospitalizations. You think that statement is true?

If hospitalizations always rise in the winter, then pointing out they are rising now does not necessarily indicate anything about Covid hospitalizations.

Spike and rise are 2 different things. I am not aware of a spike in my county.

The article itself says vax rate doesn't correlate. Anyway, looking at "all-time" data, this is a bump up but certainly not the worst we've seen even in the last few months (ignore the Dec 15, this is from today, I just had my cursor on the date at the 15th).

Those graphs don't show any correlation between vax rate and hospitalization. It just shows hospitalizations. The hospitalizations are going up. I'm not making any connection to vax rate

Ah I missed that if it actually stated that ok thanks. It just seems like a highly loaded statement for the article title to me. And the graphs really didn’t support the article title best as I could tell.

They are split into groups of high vax and low vax states. I think the point was the graphs under each set don't seem distinct (one set vs another). I agree that you were not making that point.

The real patterns in the data are 1) there's a geographic based connection and 2) there's a "peak" based connection. As was repeated here when everyone was dumping on the South for it's Delta surge it is more about the virus than state policy. That has been born out by the data - the midwest and NE were slow to the Delta party but they are getting it now (or just getting over it)

She did make a token visit to El Paso for the border crisis even though the real problem areas were about 1k miles away.

You weren’t trying to make that point, my bad.

Still, we aren’t seeing the exponential growth regarding hospitalizations we saw with the previous variants.
