Yes, I know that SXM does report total cases, but here in the US the emphasis is on total cases and not active cases.

Cathy, I can't agree that people who don't travel don't care about the vaccine. The only person who I know who is on the fence about getting the vaccine is my 87 year-old mother-in-law, and while I hope she does, I can't say that I blame her if she decides not to. All the rest of my family, most of whom rarely travel, have already gotten the vaccine or are planning to.
