330 million live in the US yet the lying media claims 200 million have had a shot. According to your figures they seem more correct then those the media is pushing. Of course they dont report those that are fully vaccinated.

US COVID-19 Cases 04/24/2021 | Total US Cases | Total US COVID-19 Related Deaths | US Mortality Rate | 7-Day Avg. Daily New Cases | | 32,000,794 (+70,523) | 571,964 (+939) | 1.78% (-0.01% for week) | 60,801.71 (-9,188.43) |

Local COVID-19 Cases 04/24/2021 | County | Active Cases | Total Cases | COVID-19 Related Deaths | Mortality Rate | | Ashe | 18 (+42) | 2,183 (+4) | 44 (NC) | 2.02% | | Alleghany | 14 (-) | 1007 (+1) | 5 (NC) | 0.50% | | Watauga | 24 (-) | 4,613 (+5) | 31 (NC) | 0.67% | | Wilkes | 108 (?) | 6,509 (+7) | 109 (NC) | 1.67 % |
Trends: The US reached another milestone as the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 surpassed the 32 million case mark on Friday. Roughly, 9.7% of Americans have tested positive for the virus. In comparison, the infection percentage in NC is 9.1% while early hotspot NY is 10.2%. Several news sources are reporting the vaccine effort is beginning to stall due to public refusal to taking the shots. According to the CDC ( https://covid.cdc.gov/covid...ccinations), about 41.8% of the US population has taken at least one shot while only 28% are fully vaccinated. Of the segment of the population 18 years or older, 53.1% have had at least one shot while 35.9% have been fully vaccinated. For people 65 or older, 81.3% have received at least one shot while 67.1% have been fully vaccinated. Broken down by race, of the vaccines administered, according to the CDC 64% of the population identifying as white-non-Hispanic has received at least one dose of the vaccine. Of the remaining doses administered, Asians have received 5.6%, Native Americans have received 1.1%, Hispanic/Latino has received 12%, Black Non-Hispanic 8.6%, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.3% and Other 2.3%. According to Dr. Fauci, it is becoming increasingly clear that Herd Immunity is not going to be achieved due to resistance to receiving the vaccination.
In North Carolina, Governor Cooper announced that the mask mandate as well as restrictions on public gatherings could be lifted June 1st. For the week, NC added 13,239 cases and 136 deaths and the NC Mortality Rate remained stable at 1.31%. The 7-day average of daily new cases dropped by about 150 cases a day as it appears we are putting the minor Easter surge in cases behind us.
Locally, the active case counts, and low transmission rate indicate the virus is being well controlled currently. Ashe added 14 cases for the week, Alleghany was up 13 and Watauga increased by 23. As best I can tell, Wilkes added 65 cases between 4/14 and 4/24. No additional COVID-19 related deaths were reported this week in the local area.

Fins,
I did. I think it was probably one of the first totally honest answers to a COVID related question that an official expert has provided.
The Dawg is correct, the media is great at sending mixed messages; Get the vaccine!, Uh-ho better not!
Right now, according to the CDC, about 33% of Asian Americans and 32% of White Americans have been fully vaccinated contrasted with 20% of Black Americans and 19% of Hispanic Americans.

Fauci has learned to say the words " I dont know" so that tomorrow he doesn't contradict himself.
1 in 1 million with a blood clot is likely normal blood clots in the population. I am sure the medical community is looking at the medical histories of the women with the clots. Same thing happened with the astrazeneca vaccine that is about to be approved for use in the US.
This only served to change the minds of those that were sitting on the fence about taking the vaccine.

Wondering, did you catch Fauci's answer when asked why Texas is going down and Michigan is going up? He said "I don't know". This could have been the first honest answer out of him since this started. But most didn't understand what his answer really means. He is finally beginning to admit that this virus does what it does. That it seems to have a curve it must run and one way or the other it will do it. That all the precautions only delay the curve.

Trends:
The US COVID-19 numbers have been trending up this week with the 7-day average hitting its highest point (71,416.43) on 04/15 since 02/26 when it was 73,863.71. Another ominous sign is the 0.02% drop in the mortality rate which also occurred during the Thanksgiving � New Years surge. For the week, the US added 489,931 cases of COVID-19 and reported 5,141 COVID-19 related deaths and the 7-day average of daily new cases climbed by 4,773.77 cases per day.
In NC, the numbers are also going in the wrong direction. The 7-day average topped 2,000 for the first time since 03/06 on 04/16 and while it did drop slightly on 04/17, it remains above the 2000 threshold. North Carolina added 14.287 cases and 139 deaths for the week. The mortality rate did popup 0.01% but fell back the next day to 1.31%.
Locally, the case counts are up a bit in Ashe when compared to last week, Alleghany is stable at 16 and Watauga is down slightly from last week. Wilkes is kind of doing its own thing and was the only county to report additional deaths (2) this week. Ashe added 33 cases to its total over the last 7 days, while Alleghany was up 18, Watauga increased by 46 and Wilkes added 74 as best I can tell.

Good information. The media is scaring people away from getting the vaccine reporting every reaction to the Johnson vaccine which are known side effects. Remember it's a one and done so it's all packed into one shot.

According to an Israeli study, the Pfizer vaccine is far less effective against the South African variant of the Coronavirus. "The South African variant of the coronavirus is notably more adept at "breaking through" the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine than other variants are, Israeli scientists have found, in a first-of-its-kind real-world study."

Trends: The United States added 545.249 new cases of COVID-19 for the week. There were also an additional 7,934 COVID-19 related deaths reported between 04/09 and 04/10. The seven-day average of daily new cases dropped to 65,206.57 on 04/10 but has remain in the 68,000 to 66,000 case range for the week. The US Mortality Rate is 1.81% and is flat for the week.
In North Carolina, 13,247 new COVID-19 cases and 112 COVID-19 related deaths were reported for the week ending 4/10/2021.The seven-day average of daily new cases increased 373.72 compared to a week ago to 1,892.43. The NC Mortality Rate remained at 1.32% the entire week. Wednesday's modest increase of 870 cases was a news item bit in my opinion this was the result of holiday closings affecting testing rather than an actual decrease in virus transmission rates. The fact Thursday and Friday's numbers were up 2,000+ cases seem to bear my logic out.
Locally, the virus situation in Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga counties looks to be being well controlled with less than 100 new cases being reported in a combined population of around 100,000 and no additional reported COVID-19 related deaths. Wilkes County is continuing to be remiss in reporting Coronavirus statistics but from the NC Dashboard, it appears that Wilkes added 62 cases for the week and 2 additional deaths.

Fins,
I don't really have any historical tracking data on Texas but looking at the incidence rate provided by John's Hopkins, The incidence rate is a comparison of the number of cases and the population of the state. Texas falls about the middle of the top ten states as far as total cases:
1. NJ 10,438.81 / 100,000 population (#9) 2. GA 10,018.25 / 100,000 population (#6) 3. IL 9,915.99 / 100,000 population (#5) 4. NY 9796.34 / 100,000 population (#4) 5. FL 9,692.95 / 100,000 population (#3) 6. TX 9,662.52 / 100,000 population (#2) 7. OH 8,760.39 / 100,000 population (#8) 8. CA 8,735.24 / 100,000 population (#1) 8. NC 8,735.24 / 100,000 population (#10) 10. PA 8,151.26 / 100,000 population (#7)
To clarify, these are not the top 10 incidence rates, I just picked the 10 states with the most total cases. The Dakotas IRs are topping 13,000 but due to the small populations, ND and SD fall way down in the by total number of infection list.
I will revisit these numbers next week and see where Texas is.

I am going to skip the detailed update this week due to the holiday disrupting COVID-19 reporting. Just looking at the week to week 7 day average of daily new cases, it looks like the US average has increased around 10.5% when compared to the previous week while NC is up about 5.7%. The drop in mortality rates for the US and NC seems to confirm the transmission rate is increasing as we saw the same during the last surge. Locally, the numbers continue to be fairly modest in Ashe, Allegany and Watauga while due to a lack of updates, the situation in Wilkes continues to be tough to gauge. Looking at other states, virus activity in NY looks to be heating up (up 17.2%) from week to week.
Undoubtedly, the Spring Break fracas in Florida and the border surge has contributed to the rise in cases, but with the spring time weather and more people out and about, combined with the more contagious strains of the virus becoming more widespread in the US and the resistance to taking the vaccine, the rise in cases was inevitable.
Wear your masks and take the shots which are available at most pharmacies now.

Same. I am scheduled to get the second dose on Friday. I had some serious reservations about taking the vaccine, and in a perfect world I would have passed but I am so flipping sick of drive thrus and everything related to COVID; if the shot gets us one second closer to normalcy, it will have been worth it.

An uptick was expected with schools opening back up and the loosening of restrictions. App health is failing to keep up with deaths on its dash board.
