On the basis of current data, the vast majority of national counties see high transmission, especially those of the sun belt. Similarly, COVID ACT now, which has also beenTracking numbers since early in the pandemicNote that all states are at least a high level of risk. The website uses new daily cases per 100,000, infection rate and the positivity of tests to determine the level of risk on a scale of five colors where green means low risk; Yellow means average risk; Orange means high risk; Red means very high risk; and dark red means a severe risk. Currently,No states are at low or medium risk levels.

"You basically make a security cocoon, but that does not mean that there is a zero risk, like when you wear a seat belt, you can always enter an accident." He compared the Covid vaccine with an umbrella. "When it rains, it can ship you, but when there is a big storm, you can not always dodge all the rain."
Some restaurants take things further by banning unvaccinated people in an effort to stop spread, and now some areas do the same. August 3, New York has become the first city toRequire proof of vaccination For people inside or going into gyms and interior shows, a gap that will begin to be applied on September 13th.
