1 in 26 people have covid on the west coast. 1 in 29 in the South. The rest of the country soon to follow.
There is also a new variant appearing (KP.3.1.1), which has a significant mutation which allows it to escape immunity gained from previous variants. It's expected to add to and extend the current waves.
It's less deadly than before, thankfully, and new variants haven't seemed to cause as much of a problem as the first few waves, but the new normal is still several times worse than the worst flu season, if only because it's around and spreading significantly most of the year. It's pretty neat how we are living in a time where we can watch society get significantly worse in real time on multiple fronts, including the spread of disease! And by "pretty neat" I mean: 
Good thing brandon ended the pandemic by getting rid of testing, otherwise it might look bad right now!
that graph is wrong
says that national trendline is slightly down, while midwest and south are increasing, and northeast is plateauing. The only region declining is the west coast
that means they ridiculously overrepresented california data
Maybe? There are less testing sites now. My town has a testing site and it's the highest wastewater level ever recorded since they started tracking it a year ago.
