      What you say about vaccinated people wearing masks influences what unvaccinated people do. What's more important: encouraging unvaccinated people to get vaccinated ("you won't need to wear a mask"), or encouraging them to wear masks ("everyone should wear one")? Hard to choose a message.

      Early counts certainly were off since we were not testing.
      Now, most of the numbers are lagging indicators.

      Looks like MO (45% vax) outbreak is spreading to IL (59% vax, one dose, total population).
      There are enough pockets on un-vaccinated people to cause problems everywhere.

      US new case count average dipped below 11K a few weeks ago--mostly a reporting artifact. Now, it's back up and sort of holding steady ca. 11.7K. And yes, this in only the reported cases, which definitely won't catch everyone.

        273 cases with 12.5 million people isn't spreading. It simply isn't active right now. Unlike last year pre-4th when cases were rising, that is not the case this time.

          What are you even talking about?

          Weekly average for USA is 13,000 cases per day (not 275) and rising slightly at the moment.

          Between vaccination and people catching COVID, we'll eventually have "herd immunity" (even in the more reluctant areas) but we'll probably have some pretty major delta-variant outbreaks in the meantime.
