      There’s a lot of southern states that have remarkably low positivity rates. Their vaccination rates can’t be very good there, so I’m a curious what the story is there.

          Not sure there was much to that surprisingly. The woman who reported it, Rebekah Jones, is completely batshit.

        Just check the waste water data and find out if the concentration of covid is high

          I lived here the whole time and that person is correct.

          However my anecdotal experience is most people are refusing to test. Can’t get positive if you don’t test. 😩

              The 5G chip implanted during vaccination updated the government once you were infected. No worries.

        Many people had COVID and lived and thus acquired immunity. I vaguely remember reading something along these lines during the last year’s sick season, that the total immunity is actually much higher since it’s a combination of immunity through immunization plus immunity after actual illness.

      Found this data for people who got the booster. Basic takeaway is that rates for the booster are low in general, but especially so for the south and a good chuck of flyover country.

      I would guess then that we’re gonna see infections spike in southern states come January. By then it will be cold and Christmas and New Years will have happened.

      Edit: found a map covering more than just boosters. Same apparent trend overall as the booster map.
