[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm OP again. [b]It's getting close to a Blue State Avenger from the looks of it.[/b] Then again, it's not like blue states emerged unscathed from the pandemic's worst days of November 2020-February 2021.

Delta seems to be succeeding where Alpha, Beta, and Gamma failed in making a breakthrough in the American market. Of course the other three did succeed in making folks kind of numb about hearing of "variants."

Interesting that some right-wingers are talking up the vaccine now. I figure under-vax'd Democratic-leaning populations (mostly POC) would have a longer tail of getting vaccinated as it seems the vaccine resistant lean Republican but the unvaxed Dems tend to have logistical problems getting vaxed. But heck, I could see this affecting at most 1-2 House races.

Are they really worried swing voters will blame them for a fourth wave? I just figured partisans would blame the other side no matter what and low-engagement voters would blame the Dems. [/quote]

It's the Red states that are getting hit hardest right now by Delta, but the Blue states are playing catch up because they started this wave from such a low base.

It's basically the opposite of the March 2020 wave - Red states are getting hit hard with Delta, but now the Blue areas are starting to see it quickly grow. But with high vax rates in Blue counties, I think we will see much less hospitalization relative to Red counties.[/quote]
