The state of Florida is currently recording an average of 96.5 new daily COVID-19 infections per 100,000 people, being the epicenter of the `pandemic of the unvaccinated`. Less than half of the people in Florida are fully vaccinated.
This is exactly why they witnessed an astonishing rise of 59% in COVID-19 cases in only one week. This is also the threshold of what health authorities consider to be a very high rate of spread.
The current level of transmission is of importance to people cruising out of Florida, which is home to the three largest cruise ports in the United States.

More Covid half-truths. Why not report the results in Vermont where 88% of the adult population has been vaccinated, and 99% of adults over 65 have been vaccinated. They are currently having a surge in Covid infections that is equal to the surge last year before the vaccines were available.
If the US is 330 million people and all those people could be vaccinated, that might limit the illness and death from a public policy perspective. I have been vaccinated. I calculated that since I am old, the danger for me was higher than average. However, I would not insist that everyone do what I did because the risks and benefits vary by person. The news, of which I consider this article a part, always presents the decision to be vaccinated as if there is only one good answer. Too many public policy issues are presented in this fashion. In reality, the issue is more complex, and individual understandings of it can lead in different directions. I think the slanting of the issue, and the failure to fully develop alternate understandings of it, are counter-productive. In effect I am saying that the vaccine level would be higher if the presentation of the issue was not so slanted. By slanting the issue, the public is being treated as if they were not able to fully rationalize for themselves. Many people sense this and resent it. There is always doubt. But greater doubt and skepticisms are fostered by the constant uni-directional slanting of the discussion. In the end, we will all see what happens. Trust is in very short supply. That is hardly surprising if you consider the modern news. This whole grand experiment in self-government is under a credibility strain. The smarter people who think they are fooling others may simply be fooling themselves. Hard to trust people who fool themselves. Its better to trust people who identified the "self-evident truths".
The FEAR PANDEMIC. That’s all this is
It would help to present the info in tabular form, easier to overview and compare than the text alone.
