That's more than a 3-to-1 difference in risk of getting COVID-19 in Tennessee than in Vermont. That means that one in six people in Tennessee is a case.
I'm getting sick and tired of seeing an ever-rising death toll for COVID-19, especially when so many of those deaths are preventable by simply getting vaccinated. Do people have a death wish? 684,839... This weak alone the death toll has surpassed in turn the populations of Boston (24th largest city in the USA), El Paso (23rd), and Oklahoma City (22nd). Nashville is 21st at 689,447 and Washington DC is 20th at 689,545. I'm not saying that being crushed or incinerated in the 9/11 attack and the collapse of the buildings, or dying by jumping out the windows rather than being incinerated or crushed is any more pleasant, but still it is pointless death. We do our damnedest to reduce deaths from vehicle collisions... and I don't feel any sympathy for people whom the State Police bust near the state line for 78 on a 70 mph rural freeway due to some enhanced enforcement. .
That's roughly 230 incidences of the 9/11 horror, and four in the past week. I don't like making that comparison, but just remember that one President organized a gangland-style hit on the architect of the 9/11 attack... and my response was to sing The Battle Hymn of the Republic and put the lyrics onto a website that day. We have had days of death tolls larger than 9/11.
To those who so far refuse to get inoculated: people will miss you if you die. Gasping for breath on a ventilator at which you are a prisoner in all but name is not a good way to go.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
