My patience is with people that won’t get vaccinated and mask up is wearing thin.
Let’s take a visit to my neighborhood.
The following information is from the Washington Post. Data is as of Friday 20 August.
| Place | People Fully Vaccinated | Average Daily New Cases | Average Daily New Deaths | Currently Hospitalized | Currently Occupied ICU Beds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama | 36,114 | 75 | 0.5 | 60 | 17 |
| Florida | 51,039 | 88 | 0.6 | 80 | 17 |
| Georgia | 40,152 | 73 | 0.3 | 52 | 12 |
| Mississippi | 36,598 | 120 | 1.1 | 55 | 15 |
| Tennessee | 40,550 | 75 | 0.4 | 38 | 11 |
| U.S. | 51,205 | 42 | 0.3 | 27 | 7 |
Get fully vaccinated if you’re not and wear a mask, even if you are. The Delta variant is no joke. A special shout out to Florida, where hospital and ICU beds are filling up:
Orlando officials called on residents Friday to stop watering their lawns and washing their cars for the next two weeks so that supplies of liquid oxygen used in water treatment can be preserved for hospitals grappling with a surge of coronavirus patients.
