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.
Also, any of y'all see the mystery respiratory illness amongst dogs this year?
Show
It wouldn't surprise me if letting covid run wild is causing mass immune disregulation in more than just humans.
i remember reading covid was in the wild deer in iowa or some shit
Yup. It's suspected we gave deer covid, and then caught it back!

Until the behavior of people/society changes I am assuming the worst in perpetuity. The powers that be have clearly shown they have no problem underreporting or flat out not reporting cases at all; death certificates are fudged to not list Covid as a reason by the same medical staff who tell me I shouldn’t care while they cough up a lung and the second elderly person in the ER lobby vomits on the floor that night. I have no reason to trust anything anyone says about this that isn’t all hands on deck right the fuck now until the widespread acceptance & adoption of methodology I know to work to prevent the spread of airborne disease: wearing respirators and air filtration in closed spaces, and/or staying home when sick. So far, none of that has happened, and we continue doing the complete opposite of those things- until that time, frankly, regardless of what easily manipulated data says, I’m good.
OK? How does that have any bearing on what I wrote at all? I don't even disagree, but what is a comment like this accomplishing?
FYI, the above user has had many comments removed from this community so far. He's probably due for a ban.
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.
Reeeeally disheartening that they got 5 upvotes on hexbear with that drivel
