According to JPWeiland's twitter account:

🔸270,000 new infections/day 🔸~2.75 avg total infections per capita across the US 🔸1 in every 124 people currently infected

This is considered low? lol, we're fucked.

Covid wastewater levels where I am dropped to the lowest recorded since they started keeping track just about a year ago, and still we had a couple people get covid where I work last week, so it's still going around depsite that. Your town may vary. Still, it seems like it will be a little less precarious for the next couple months for what that is worth.

    I know I'm a broken record, but unless you're in the North East, it's almost certainly higher than wastewater monitoring is showing because of how few areas we're monitoring. this-is-fine

    Also, any of y'all see the mystery respiratory illness amongst dogs this year?

    It wouldn't surprise me if letting covid run wild is causing mass immune disregulation in more than just humans.

        Yup. It's suspected we gave deer covid, and then caught it back!

    If it's any consolation, reported cases will drop even more when hospitals stop reporting COVID-related admissions in April

    Wastewater levels are low where I live but I’m pretty sure my entire family has covid right now because my kids took off their n95s at school to eat.
