Vaccination Rates in California have only gone up about 0.9% in the past week, but apparently 80% of eligible people have one dose according to multiple websites like the L.A. Times. That would definitely be a tremendous milestone if true. 
 

I do know a ton of people that were hesitant getting on board. I think it’s a combination of FDA Approval, Delta surging, another lockdown or tier system scare and losing job with no EDD (this is my fear, I work in a casino), and almost 10 months of solid vaccine data in the real world. 
 

Those four factors I think are leading to a solid vaccination surge in California.

I mean it's also a pretty pathetic one. The numbers were still off by ~4,000 post basic division error.

My point still stands though. And that mistake just means Florida should have gone back to daily reports instead of weekly.

I’ve only looked in California but last time I checked the government website, Asians were at around 74-77% fully vaxxed, white people around 63-67% fully vaxxed, and African Americans and Hispanics at 36-39%. 
 

Small sample size from real life encounters also is consistent with that data. I mostly work with a high Asian and Hispanic Demographic. Feel almost every Asian there is vaccinated and every Hispanic is not. 

So are they basing it off of state-wide data and anecdotal experiences?

From a selfish perspective my wife and I will be making some donations at California and Nevada casinos as soon as we’re comfortable travelling. I really hope you can stay open. Tourism industry has been devastated and friends in Vegas have had a very tough go of it. It makes me angry because it didn’t have to be like this.

It's not going to be wearing masks.

It's not going to be the quarantines.

It's not going to be the fighting with people about partisan politics.

...it's going to be the lack of toilet paper/hoarding of toilet paper that officially makes me snap and lose it.

That could make an interesting headline.

I don’t follow how jurisdictions input the data but I check totals every day.

Florida often reports 8 deaths. Now I think I understand why.

Florida has just had weird reporting issues dating back to last year. Nebraska is the same way.

Is vaccination becoming an issue also in Canada?

As long as the Tier System is not reinvoked, I’ll take my losses over the past year on EDD, because I’m certainly mad with the government I lost so much money (California specifically). 
 

I have a feeling they might re-instate it before Thanksgiving for the entire winter. Just a hunch. If that happens I’m beyond screwed. Just praying it doesn’t happen. Let people work, let people live. The spread and surge has really coincided with schools re-opening, the Tier System for businesses should not be re-invoked. Casinos, Bars, and Theaters would never reopen under that system, it’s too strict.

Assuming you're vaccinated, why aren't you comfortable traveling?

I’m fully vaccinated for 6 weeks. I’m not comfortable travelling because I live a very risk adverse lifestyle since the onset of the pandemic. I have health issues that offer increased risk should I get a breakthrough case. I’ve been wearing a mask since the first reported case in North America. Prior to retirement I worked in a national pandemic planning team so learned a wee bit about pandemics, mutations, waves etc. My mother was a medical anthropologist and my sister is a clinical research scientist. All that said I don’t claim to be knowledgeable abou the specific science but I do believe I have an understanding of where this disease will go 

Ive also been on record with disagreeing with the decision to open the Canadian border so to cross the border I don’t believe should be open doesn’t wash. My city has a vaccination rate of 86% 12+ one dose and 79% both. I don’t think it’s responsible for me to travel to an area with far higher case counts and lower vaccination rates. The hazards are identifiable and being vaccinated along with other measures mitigates a great deal of the risk. None the less with numerous variants of concern the chance of a vaccine defeating variant increases.

One final note. I carry two million dollars in travel insurance with a major carrier. 11 years ago I had the misfortune of getting food poisoning in Las Vegas. It required about 3.5 hours in the emergency room. My bill was $2600.00. Our carrier was on the phone with the hospital agreeing to payment. However I had to pay the bill, which wasn’t a problem and my money would be refunded when my insurance company paid the bill. The hospital has reasons for that process but in any event if I were to fall ill, have a misadventure or something I’m not sure how I would cover a massive hospital bill.

Sorry for the long response.
