A problem with analysis like this: It's likely there's FAR more underreporting of cases than last winter. Why?

* At home tests now likely >=50% of overall volume
* Huge demand overwhelming in-person test facilities
* Omicron milder = cases easier to misshttps://t.co/a2M6ldWY6A pic.twitter.com/bIxOSSXIF7

The U.S. makes up 4% of the world’s population, but yesterday we made up 32% of its #COVID cases (probably an undercount). The current pandemic strategy is not working. This is more than about just getting people vaccinated. We need to control the spread now. https://t.co/kkb9Ly0hmJ

An unvaccinated 30-49 year-old is more likely to die from COVID than a vaccinated 65-79 year-old.

But the GOP-stacked Supreme Court doesn't care, they're going to use antivax propaganda to rewrite national policy and we're supposed to pretend it's a principled legal decision. https://t.co/jTEalwq8Z7 pic.twitter.com/HXKCKU5pbf

The partisan gap in Covid deaths has grown even larger.

October was the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap between the death rates in heavily Trump counties and heavily Biden counties widened.

Leonhardt's assessment of the effect of vaccines on covid deaths this year is spot on, but we can go further.

First, partisanship overlapped with death tolls prior to vaccines. Second, partisanship also correlated with deaths within states like Florida. https://t.co/Gx3IvOIKCS

— Philip Bump (@pbump) November 8, 2021

Big blue counties: "in the densely populated areas in which we’ve approached overwhelming adoption of the vaccines, the death rates are often a fraction of the national average — a significantly greater gap than between the most-vaccinated and least-vaccinated states." https://t.co/U49BtXEZ7Y

Parts of Trump’s own voting base view him more skeptically now because of his support for the vaccine, and that skepticism has furthered him talking about “freedom” from mandates. https://t.co/QBTwsEXqpa

One of the strongest signs that the vaccines are working and that regional differences aren't just seasonality is a look at differences *within* states.

Rank the states by new covid cases reported yesterday per 100K, and Trump won the top 8 (and 18 of the top 19) and Biden the bottom 18. Looking back, NFIB v. Sibelius (2012) began an era when health outcomes increasingly diverged by party control of state government.

The number of new Covid-19 cases in the U.S. is also very worrisome. Here’s perspective. Three months ago, there were 11,000 new cases every day in the U.S. Now, the new seven-day average is 150,784 new cases every day. Again – get a shot. Protect yourself from the Delta variant.

— Wolf Blitzer (@wolfblitzer) September 17, 2021

The latest Covid-19 numbers in the U.S. are very disturbing. The new seven-day average for daily deaths is now 1,905. Three months ago, there were about 200 daily deaths in the U.S. Clearly, the Delta variant is highly transmissible. Get vaccinated.

— Wolf Blitzer (@wolfblitzer) September 17, 2021

Covid deaths now up to about 1,900 a day, meaning the equivalent of a new 9/11 roughly every 38 hours. But a hopeful sign: New infections have been falling in Florida and the South. @Sam_Bakerhttps://t.co/lwioJ0nZbR
