Quote:Five clusters of unvaccinated Americans making up 15 million people across 12 states are putting the entire country at risk of another surge in COVID-19 cases, analysis finds

• A new analysis from Georgetown identified clusters of counties with both low vaccination rates and the potential to seed outbreaks
  
  
• Five clusters in the southeast are particularly risky, represent 15 million people with a vaccination rate under 30%
  
  
• Though 48% of Americans overall are fully vaccinated, the number varies wildly from county to county - and under-vaccinated counties are at risk for surges 
  
  
• Surges in these counties may be amplified by the Indian 'Delta' variant - which makes up more than half of U.S. cases
  
  
• Public health experts are urging vaccination to prevent dangerous outbreaks
  

Quote:Five clusters of unvaccinated Americans could be putting the entire country at risk of future COVID-19 surges, a new analysis finds. 


COVID-19 vaccination is extremely uneven across the US, with some counties at rates above 70 percent while others are below 30 percent.

The clusters of counties all have vaccination rates under 30 percent and stretch across 12 states including Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas.

Such surges may be amplified by the Indian 'Delta' variant, a super-contagious variant that now is linked to the majority of new cases in the U.S.

U.S. officials and public health experts are urging vaccination to prevent future surges - and the rise of even more dangerous variants - in counties like the ones identified by this study.

Quote:'These clusters of unvaccinated people are what is standing in the way of us putting this virus down permanently,' said CNN medical analyst Dr Jonathan Reiner.

1000 people have not received the vaccine and they are not sick. 

1000 people got the vaccine.

1000 people got the virus and died.

1000 people got the virus and lived, and now have natural immunity.

1000 people got the virus, didn't know it, but still have natural immunity. 

Worse case scenario.

Out of 5000 people 
1000 are dead, so you don't have to worry about them. They have been removed from the equation. 

That leaves 4000 people. 

1000 with synthetic immunity, 2000 with natural immunity.

That leaves 1000 that should be just fine because no one has the virus so they can't spread what they don't have.

Now, even if one or all of the people in the unvaccinated and not sick group, do get the virus, they will become members of one of the other groups, and all will be well.

The End.
