Using wastewater data- the only data that measures the amount of circulating COVID-19 in an era of inaccessible tests and discouraged reporting- infectious disease modeler J.P. Weiland estimates that the US has yet again crossed the million-infections-per-day mark as of August 9, with about 1 in 33 Americans currently infected with COVID-19.

I’ve written before about how, in November 2021, nearly a year after the debut of the vaccines, Fauci publicly declared that US COVID cases would need to fall “well below 10,000 a day” for us to get a “degree of normality,” and allow us to return to pre-pandemic life. In the nearly three years since, the US has never had a single day with under 10,000 new COVID cases per day; in fact, we have never had a single day with under 100,000 new COVID cases per day.

      i wonder if that happened to me too or if im just lazy and didn't realize it before... over the past few years it seems i can sleep 11+ hours a day if i had the ability and i'd still not feel fully rested.. but at like 7 hours my body burns and hates me.. so i try to get 8 minimum where possible

      i had an Rx for adderall for a couple years but i realized it wasn't really helping me do much other than just not sleep
