I think Covid is under the radar and much higher than is being reported. My son just contracted it again and he masks a lot. He is in college and he most likely let his guard down. This is non sustainable the long run. He got the vaccine 4 weeks ago and I know it does not prevent illness that is why he continues to mask. My worry is long term effects. This summer he has two weeks apart fevers of unknown origin of 104 - 104.2 . We saw infectious disease specialist etc he also had blood in his urine. He is only 21 . We can’t keep going like this in society and with the in coming administration we will be dying in large numbers when the bird flu hits. I feel no one takes the public health seriously at all. We had serious long repercussions from 1918 flu. Sequelae diseases from Covid I feel will and are worst. The young population is being hit hard. I fear from their future.
When you describe the level of covid or influenza cases in a certain region, what you're talking about is the level of *reported* cases, no? Thank you.
Yes I do think the single reporting site is likely making the data erratic. Arizona and NM often have results inconsistent with the rest of the region though, and I don't quite understand why.
Oops, typo. Today is Nov 25th :)

Appreciate your efforts to keep us current with accurate information
Excellent overview as always.
I’ve been very grateful for the information you share with us. Have bought your book, and I’m looking forward to reading it!
thank you!

I use a mix of reported cases/hospitalizations and wastewater concentration.
Thank you! Do they still not know where the Canada teen got H5?
Canadian officials closed the investigation without being able to determine the source of infection.
I don’t understand why NM is so high. Is it because only one testing site has data this week? Thank you for these posts. 🩵
