I was curious as to how Idaho ranked in the Covid Vaxx standings and ran across this:
Realtime U.S. COVID Risk & Vaccine Tracker
Idaho is not only lagging the rest of the nation, comparatively, but, like education, we're in the bottom five. Fortunately for the sane among us who live here, population size and density is low enough that we have not gotten the royal spanking of other higher density states such as California, Texas, Florida and New York.
That said, at present approximately 51% of the U.S. population has received at least one vaccination and overall the vaccinations seem to be having a fairly dramatic effect:
As of June 1, 2021, there have been roughly 33.3 million cases and 595,000 deaths from COVID in the United States. Over the last 14 days, daily new cases have decreased by about 45% and daily deaths have decreased by about 8%.
This site is sponsored by Harvard, Stanford and Georgetown so I expect the data to be of high veracity.
