10. Projected 60 to 80% vaccinated in some states. Not in others.

The northeast, particularly here in New England, we're almost there. The west coast is getting there as is Colorado, New Mexico and a few midwestern states. Some regions are falling way, way behind and probably will never reach the magic percentage. The south and certain western states are still in the 30 to 40% range of receiving at least one dose. With their politics and infections at a natural low ebb this summer, I doubt they'll even come close to where they need to be. My prediction is it will be a regional disease this fall / winter. With the dismantling of nearly all precautions this summer, it will burn hot in much of red America. And maybe that will be what it takes to wake those wankers up. Or create a whole host of new conspiracy nuttery. I have no confidence in them doing the right thing. No confidence at all.
