Note the update today, with peak exceeding BA.2, BA.5 only 2nd to Omicron for the pandemic. And >2,000 Covid deaths in the last week.
NEW COVID wastewater update from Biobot: Looks like we are near the peak.
The historical data shows we are in the second-largest wave since the start of the pandemic.
Currently in the US, ~1 in 23 are infectious with COVID, and there are ~2 million new infections a day.
ALT Chart: The U.S. is in its second-largest wave of the pandemic, according to COVID-19 wastewater levels This chart shows the SARS-CoV-2 virus concentration present in samples of wastewater taken from across the United States. Vertical axis displays the effective SARS-CoV-2 virus concentration (copies/mL of sewage). Data last updated January 09, 2024 from samples collected during the week of January 01, 2024. Most recent data are subject to change. Chart: @luckytran Source: Biobot Created with Datawrapper

You ever wondered what a couple seconds of a tiny portion of sky would look like during a morning with 180,000+ migrating warblers?
That’s oddly specific, but wonder no more!

Racehorses test positive for SARS-CoV-2
Horses might silently carry the virus and potentially contribute, albeit minimally, to its spread.
