** COVID-19 in four charts
------------------------------------------------------------
The Delta variant that drove case and death rates up in the second half of the summer and caused several states and cities to reinstate mask mandates has led to an uncertain start to fall. Here are four charts for insight on the state of the pandemic, with new data on who isn’t getting vaccinated and why.

* Fourth-wave cases and deaths are at levels not seen since the winter surge.

[link removed]
* As of September 13, 210 million people, or 64% of the population, have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

* Fifty-five percent of the US population — that’s 179.2 million people — have been fully vaccinated.

* New England states have the highest percentage of vaccinated populations ([link removed]) . States as varied as Idaho, Wyoming, Mississippi, and West Virginia have the lowest rates, ranging from 46% to 50%.

* US public debt ([link removed]) has grown during the pandemic.

* The pandemic has hit Native Americans the hardest relative to their population size. While non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native people account for 1% of all COVID-19 deaths ([link removed]) , the group has the highest death rate since January 2020 with 285 deaths per 100,000 people.

** Who hasn't gotten the COVID-19 vaccine yet?
------------------------------------------------------------
The FDA approved emergency use for the first COVID-19 vaccine more than nine months ago. As of September 17, more than 120 million Americans have not yet received one shot of any vaccine. USAFacts has the numbers ([link removed]) on which demographics are currently without a single dose.
* There are 48 million children in America younger than 12. Right now, this age group is ineligible to receive the vaccine.

* About 29% of unvaccinated people eligible for the shots are between the ages of 12 and 24.

* Texas, the second-most populous state, has the highest number of unvaccinated people. Texas is home to 9% of the nation’s population, but it’s home to 10% of unvaccinated Americans.

* In a CDC survey, 22% of uninsured adults said they likely wouldn’t get vaccinated compared to 13% of people with health insurance. Nineteen percent of adults in rural areas said the same, compared with 13% of urban residents and 14% of suburban residents.

One last fact
[link removed]
The Federal Reserve increased its total assets ([link removed]) from $4.17 trillion in January 2020 to $8.33 trillion in August 2021 to stabilize the economy during the pandemic. The Fed now owns more than $8 trillion in assets, $6 trillion more than the peak of the Great Recession.
