Rhode Island and Connecticut are some of the most masked up and vaccinated states in the country, why are the COVID-19 transmission rates so high compared to the lowest transmission rate states of Montana and Alaska.
The county with the highest vaccination rate in California which is Marin County has transmission rate of 1.31
Rhode Island COVID rate is 81 per 100,000 and it is 84% vaccinated with transmission of 1.27
Montana COVID rate is 29 per 100,000 with 60% vaccinated and tramission rate of 0.81
...never heard of correlation without causation, huh? If you can't understand the effect of population density on viral spread, then I don't trust you behind the wheel of an automobile.
The population density here in CT is the right answer. Bingo.
It's in Hartford County, the omicron, and that is the capital of the state, very densely populated and surrounded by suburbs.
For sheer numbers we are right next to NYC and what is more densely populated than that! People who live at that end of the state commute daily into NYC and they bring covid back with them. Just heard on tv we are up to 8%, which is like last year. Time for masks again, by the sounds of it. People are racing to get booster shots because it's hitting the double vaccinated, whose immunity has waned. But probably that won't help with the new omicron.

Mandates are political suicide at this point. Doubt it will happen.

Given the politics it wouldn't surprise me if the highest vax rates correlated to the highest death rates, because urban areas see more need to vax due to the higher death rates.
On average it seems like death rates are flat across vaccination rates. Maybe that's not surprising, if people have a tendency to prioritize vaccination more if there are more deaths, and thus populations would tend toward choosing a vaccination rate that leads to a mean death rate.
Those sorts of issues are why we judge vaccine efficacy with scientifically controlled trials, not by eyeballing CovidACTNOW.

Yeah we're gonna go with actual suicide (by COVID).

It wasn't too long ago that Alaska had the highest Covid rate in the nation. Population density is taken into account to determine percentages/numbers.
