Ridgewood NJ, with around 23% of the population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of April 14, and vaccination being an essential component for full reopening of the economy, WalletHub today released its report on the Safest States During COVID-19, along with accompanying videos and audio files.

If it is unsafe it is because of the jerks who will not wear masks.

James, you cite a phony study by freedom loving non health care folks that only you would point to as somewhat justifying maskless actions to embrace the right to liberty that some claim they want to constitutionally protect. What a crock of bs.
James, the long term care facilities in Texas decrease in the number of COVID cases you posted above is directly related to the requirement to have all personnel within those facilities to wear masks when in close contact with the aged population that resides in those facilities.
unlike NJ where we murder seniors
The NAZIs have been enforcing mask mandates since June yet the numbers still go up… Gee I wonder why?
Does anyone believe the numbers anymore?
Its all been hyper-politicized.
Gov Goldman Sachs has done a shit job.
