What's funny about that? It's true.

Yea, just like it's true that if I live in a house with 10 plumbing fixtures and you live in a similar size house with 9, that i have easier access. True but largely irrelevant to the ability to get water.

This week, could we find a week during the last 3 months where the numbers are closer or even reversed?
On July 9 Vermont's average went up 250%, while Alabama went down 100% on July 5...the hard numbers are 2 to 5, and 250 to 121... buts still it makes a heck of a headline. At the worst VT had an average of 180 new cases so by any standard they are considered an outlier. Now if they had been doing something very different than the rest of the country and had a different curve, then we could investigate and if possible use those practices. But they didn't do anything different, that could be done in CA, or AL

Well their vaccination numbers lead the country at 67% of the population, as opposed to Alabama which is 33%.

Or put another way. Vermont has only distributed 400k vaccines, while Bama has distributed 1,665k vaccines.

Hard to say Bama is doing worse by distributing 4x the number of vaccines.

Well if Vermont is 1/8th the population, then it would be expected for Alabama to distribute 8x. But they’ve distributed half per person than Vermont, so yes they are doing worse. All this math goes back to the 67% to 33% ratio if you can clearly see.

Oh I never argued there wasnt a difference. Even said so in my next post that I was willing to blame it on Alabama sucking. Just pointing out it wasnt as bad as presented. It's been my issue from day one. Information is presented in such a way it doesnt portray the truth.

Alabama probably has hundreds of thousands more visitors both vacationers and people just passing through than Vermont. Not to mention the demographics and density of the populations are on opposite ends of the spectrums, so all things considered AL isn't doing to bad.

They lead in vaccinations because they have one of the oldest populations in the country. Shocking.

Also lol at comparing Vermont, a basically landlocked state of 625k with no major industry or logistical significance to a state with 5M people, $200B+ GDP, multiple large interstates, industries, large Gulf port, etc. It's like being surprised people in Podunk don't see as much of the virus as people in LA.

A 35.8 median age vs 37.7 median age probably isn’t the reason for a 2-1 ratio in vaccinations.

On July 3 Alabama's seven day average was 121 new cases per day. On July 21 the seven day average was up to 1116. Source: Johns Hopkins Corona Virus Resource Center
