reports that Louisiana now has the highest case rate in the country with more than 600 new cases per 100,000 residents, according to federal data.

Three million Americans got their first shot in the past seven days according to White House COVID coordinator Jeff Zients. AND – the biggest increases were in states with the highest COVID-19 rates, where vaccination rates have doubled and, in some cases, tripled. “Louisiana has seen a 302% increase in the average number of newly vaccinated per day, Mississippi, 250%, Alabama 215% and Arkansas 206%,” Zients said. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1422294374621327361
