NEW: What COVID-19 Does to the Body (Sixth Edition)
The latest compilation of over 100+ studies on SARS-CoV-2's effects all over the body, and how to prevent & mitigate infections, organized by organ & topic.
“In a best-case scenario, we could see 700,000 daily infections/day near the peak. Worst-case, probably 1.4 million. These are all very bad levels of transmission, but nowhere near last winter, where we peaked near 2 million daily infections.
There's a reasonable chance the winter peak will be smaller than the summer wave. That's good news in terms of lower anticipated transmission, but bad news in that our lulls are bad and peaks are still terrible. “
“Daily COVID-19 Infections—1 in 88 Americans Actively Infectious, 19 Million More Cases Predicted Next Month
Transmission Rates Higher Than During Most of the Pandemic.”
“SARS-CoV-2 makes highly healthy people just healthy, healthy people vulnerable, vulnerable people highly vulnerable, and highly vulnerable people dead.”

Fierce advocacy, great analysis and a wealth of Covid statistis in this thread. Follow Jammer uf you are still on Twitter. ‘Hey “liberals”… when Republicans said COVID is no big deal and masks don’t work, you got mad but when Dems said it, you went along with it.

August 26, 2024 “We're in uncharted territory during the back-to-school period.
1.2 million people in the U.S. are getting infected per day.
1 in 41 people (2.5%) are actively infectious.
The year-over-year graphs shows that we are experiencing much high transmission than during previous back-to-school periods.
This is a much higher and wider wave than Y1, Y2, and Y4 of the pandemic. Year 3's summer wave was very bad, but much earlier.
The 1-day isolation period, decline in most other mitigation, and a culture of denialism ("post pandemic," "Covid is over,") will fuel many infections among young people, teachers, school staff, and parents.
Expect absences at schools. Expect substantial workforce problems related to sick parents…transmission will likely remain >1 million infections per day for the next month and counting.”

Updated CDC data: Covid hospitalization rates continued to rise. 📈
👉 4.6 per 100,000 people were hospitalized during the week of August 4-10. This crucial, yet lagging indicator hasn’t been this high since February 2024
