Dear Arizona: Regardless of your age, political leanings, or financial status, GET VACCINATED.
From The Hill -
The nation's top infectious diseases expert, Anthony Fauci, said on Sunday that people should “go the extra mile” and wear masks in areas with low vaccination rates even if they’re fully vaccinated.
“If you put yourself in an environment in which you have a high level of viral dynamics and a very low level of vaccine, you might want to go the extra step and say, 'When I'm in that area where there's a considerable degree of viral circulation, I might want to go the extra mile to be cautious enough to make sure that I get the extra added level of protection even though the vaccines themselves are highly effective,'" Fauci told anchor Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Not sure if his suggestion applies to AZ (really don't know); per the Mayo Clinic's vaccine tracker, AZ is ranked 21st in terms of the percentage of the population that is fully vaccinated.
Note: I'm fully vaccinated but wear a mask when I'm out, not because of this but so the folks around me have one less thing to worry about.
