[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so happy with the mandate.  I finally went out to a restaurant.  Haven't been out in months.  I feel safer now as do my friends.  For every unvac'd person who went to VA, many of us finally left the house and went to restaurants in DC.  [/quote]

You are just silly then.  D.C. has an 85% vaccination rate but one of the highest COVID infection rates.  The vaccinated can and do easily spread COVID.  [/quote]

Nowhere near the highest covid infection rates on a per/100k basis.  Many Trump voting red states beat DC out by far.  [/quote]

Not as of late December.

That was weeks ago.  Currently DC is at 53/100k and being a city, has a lot more likelihood of transmissibility due to high urban density and frequency of contacts.

Compare that to deep red states with much lower population density like Alaska, currently at 325/100k, Utah, 287/100k, Montana 223/100k.  And even for its number of cases, DC had a far lower hospitalization and death rate than any of those states - because many more of us are vaccinated.[/quote]
