If you're a Floridian who's worried that your state will never not be the nuttiest in the nation, take comfort: There's lots of competition out there.
Idahoans, for example, have been vewwy bad puddy tats on pandemic precautions, and as a result have been swamping healthcare providers in neighboring Washington State with zillions of COVID cases. To put it mildly, Washingtonians are not amused.
But some Idahoans are doing the right thing. Although Idaho overall has the next-to-worst* vaccination rate in the country, 86.8 percent of residents in Blaine County, home of Ketchum and Sun Valley, have gotten their shots.
Yes, Blaine County is wealthy and older. And it's had a robust community effort to promote vaccination. But it also gave 67 percent of its 2020 vote to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. With all due respect to the experts, that's all the information we need.
So congratulations, Blaine! And Florida? You're still not off the crazy hook — not with a surgeon general who refuses to mask up in the presence of a state senator with cancer. We cats HISS.
(*You guessed it: West Virginia is dead, no pun intended, last.)
