With vaccines readily available, social, economic and political attention is focused on the safe return to normal which can be directly measured by the percent of population fully vaccinated!  Below is the latest, as of 5/22/2021, from Johns Hopkins University:

The two other views of the same data are presented below.

The bar chart makes state success rates perfectly clear. Longer bars are better! Go Maine!

Note Florida and Texas are in the lower half of the United States. Needless to say, California, New York and, especially, New Jersey?!, rank in the upper to near highest in the percent of population vaccinated. The numerical table, as of 5/22/2021, is presented below.

Conclusion

The national average today is 39%! Not nearly enough to give us the mythical herd immunity that will protect us all. But, sadly, vaccination rates are falling.

In JHU's latest data, TX ranks 40th in the nation while FL is 34th and both are below the national average. CA at 19th, NY 11th and NJ 6th (???!) are way above the national average. 

Government by the people has a responsibility to care for the people. One can wonder how perception and reality can vary so much.
