    The CDC no longer tracks COVID case numbers but estimates the trend of the virus spread based on emergency room visits.

    This is extremely problematic

      Not everywhere, but lots of county/state health clinics will vaccinate you for lots of things – just because they feel it is in their self-interest to keep the locals free from spreadable diseases where they can.
