    Wow, looking at this with these two maps, it does seem very impressive and scary...

    And this, in only one month and 4 days... It won't be long until we see a solid red everywhere.

    Can you define what "low"-"high" is?

    Unvaccinated people are carrying and helping mutate the virus.

    China 'screwed' us with a capital F.

    One recent study said viral loads inside vaccinated people were just as high as unvaccinated people. Sure, they might not end up in the hospital, but they are essentially little mutation factories for COVID.

    And freaking FAUCI still has a job after funding this BS.

    It's the CDC's definition based on daily new cases per 100,000 inhabitants in each county and daily percentage of positive tests, averaged for a 7-day stretch in a weekly examination.

    New cases:

    Low, 0-9.99; Moderate 10-49.99; Substantial 50-99.99, High 100 or more

    Percentage of positive tests:

    Low, less than 5%; Moderate 5-7.99%; Substantial, 8-9.99%; High 10% or more.

    If the values for each of these two metrics differ (e.g., one indicates moderate and the other low), then the higher of the two should be used for decision-making. CDC recommends the geographic unit of analysis be county or core-based statistical area. In rural areas with low population densities, multiple counties might need to be combined to increase available data so that reliable inferences can be made.

    You're welcome. I updated to indicate that the way it's calculated, is daily cases/tests, averaged in 7-day stretches.

    That's really smart. I'm glad you understand this because this isn't my forte.

    It just goes to further prove that vaccines ain't worth crap at stopping the spread. Yes, they do seem highly effective at greatly decreasing hospitalizations and deaths but the left were totally wrong in thinking that vaccine passports would stop the spread or refusing entry into establishments by the unvaccinated would stop the spread. That is just the lefty bullshit agenda they want to push. Are you now willing to admit that vaccine passports and refusing entry into establishments by the unvaccinated will not stop the spread because the vaccinated are spreading Delta just as much as the unvaccinated are?
