Arizona

Because I Never said that nothing has changed since last year or 6 months ago. That would mean the vaccines were completely ineffective.

I do expect hospitalizations and deaths to increase, the only question is how much, and where. If over the next month, there is not a significant increase in those figures, then I would be willing to admit I was far too pessimistic. But for me, for now, I find it very premature to say that it's mostly under control, since cases are rising, but hospitalizations and deaths are not.

By the way, More than 50% of the country is Unvaccinated. The virus and the Delta variant have lots of room to spread. That goes for areas with high vax rates as well as those where they haven't even reached 40% vaccinated.

And AZ is currently at 44%, and on pace to reach 70% by May 10, 2022. Given the # of right wing nutjobs, I'll be surprised if it even comes close to that % in the end.
