1000 a day new covid cases in Alaska last 2 days. Oregon is 500 people a day more covid cases than the worst it got last winter. This means that 2000 new cases a day on average right now of Covid.
All these facts tell me traveling to places like Oregon, Idaho or Alaska is extremely dangerous (if you don't already live there) because Covid is completely out of control in these western States. I'm reading more and more about people traveling from a blue state to a red state and soon after dying of Covid as a direct result. If people aren't studying all this like I am they might not survive the coming months.
From what I presently see, this winter likely will be even worse than last winter regarding covid deaths in unvaccinated people nationwide. This is a horrific statement that is starting to come true it appears as of now nationwide.
I had wanted to travel to Oregon to visit my son and his family before winter set in. However, looking at these figures since I'm 73 and vaccinated just looks too dangerous for me to travel to Oregon with my wife even if we drive and stay in a Hotel there right now. Last June, it likely would have been fine but not now.
However, before Covid got as bad as it is now my son and his family came to California and spent 3 weeks on his vacation with us in the SF Bay Area, Santa Barbara and in Orange with my cousin and his family. So, at least we all have those good memories before Covid became more of a Nationwide nightmare since August 2021 because of the Delta Variant.
