“Trends started to shift in early December, though, with levels rising from low to high by the middle of the month. In the week ending December 21, there was nearly three times as much Covid-19 circulating in the US than there was during the week ending December 7, CDC data shows.”

“The northeast US has now passed the summer Covid peak on wastewater scan. This is a very rapid rise that shows no signs of slowing.”

“Between October 27 and November 2, wastewater sampling from New Mexico revealed ‘very high’ levels of the virus, with ‘high’ levels being detected in Oregon, Arkansas, and Maine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”

“PMC COVID-19 Forecasting Model, Nov 11, 2024

We're starting to get out 1st glimpse of the shape of the winter wave.

🔸Expected transmission a month from now: 1.3 million daily infections 🔸Best-case: 0.7 million daily infections 🔸Worst-case: 1.8 million daily infections

There's nothing in the data yet to suggest the winter will be markedly different from last year, which is very bad news. Within 3 weeks, we'll have a much better sense of what path we're on and what the peak of the wave may look like, likely around NYE.”

there is no flu in italy right now. there's a wave of covid.

“The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that last month nearly half of the United States have reported "very high" levels of COVID-19 activity.

As concerns with COVID have waned across the U.S., the CDC has come to rely on wastewater data to track the virus, which often lags several weeks behind current case counts.

Data collected between Aug. 25 and Aug. 31 by the CDC showed that 23 states have reported "very high" levels of wastewater viral activity nationwide. The data was published on Sept. 5.”

“Current Covid transmission is higher than it has been throughout 90.5% of the pandemic. If the U.S. was still testing & reporting data, we would be reporting over 9 MILLION new cases each week. Since we’re not, the official number is like 1.2 million new cases each week.

MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of COVID infections go unreported each week. As people get sick & die en masse, we pretend it’s not COVID. Keeping NO record of the ongoing carnage is the entire point.”

“I don’t think the majority of scientists who were looking at this early in 2020 or at the end of 2019 expected that, four years later, we’d be dealing with unrelenting waves of variants, which are immune evasive…

…We haven’t seen a widely distributed virus in recent human history that has had this property.”

“The United States is currently mired in its ninth wave of mass infection since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the population now completely abandoned by the powers that be. A policy of forced infection has emerged, in which all public health measures have been scrapped and the most basic protection of mask-wearing is being criminalized in a growing number of counties and states.

Wastewater data show that over 1.2 million Americans are being infected with COVID-19 every day. Hospitalizations are climbing, in particular among children and the elderly, while official deaths are approaching 1,000 per week. Excess deaths, a more accurate measure of the real death toll attributable to COVID-19, stand at over 500 per day, with the cumulative death toll in the US nearing 1.5 million. Long COVID, an array of symptoms which are often debilitating, now affects over 20 million Americans and over 400 million people globally.”
