that s a tall order to hit 70% in the next two weeks since vaccination rates have slowed considerably. and a highly contagious variant called covid-19 on steroids is spreading rapidly. the so-called delta variant started in india and overwhelmed that nation to the point of horror. it s now so dominant in the u.k. they had to delay their plan of reopening. here in america, it s put young but healthy people who have not been vaccinated in the icu. come fall, experts say there will be another surge and your level of danger will likely come down to where you live. some states show a high rate of infection and it comes down to immunity. states with high levels of vaccination will not. so take a look at the disparity. in the top five, most vaccinated states, anywhere from 77% to 84% of people have at least one dose. that s good news. that s well past the president s goal. and most of the top vaccinated states are in the northeast. it s a far different story across the south, th
