SARS-CoV-2 wastewater charts using NEW alpha model WA, OR, TX, AZ Most states were revised down from the old method a few are up, such as Alabama where record hospitalizations are happening. Texas and Arizona lost WW coverage this week, so the drops may get revised up. Expect some changes to it going forward.

Holy flipping cow. Symptomatic NHS staff *looking after immunocompromised patients* no longer need to test for Covid. Absolutely astonishing. This will kill patients. Beyond horrifying.

Korrektur: Die maximale vorhergesagte Melde-Inzidenz im Dezember ist 2480*7/830=21 (von linker y-Achse der Grafik aus nitter.net/Martin46er1/status/209…), mit Dunkelziffer also 21*87=1820. Die rechte Achse in dieser Grafik ist für Dunkelziffer und Kontaktindex R1. Entschuldigung.
Das RKI will ab September die Covid-19-Neuinfektionen nicht mehr täglich melden ⇒github.com/orgs/robert-koch-…. Mein Modell erwartet durch den Immunschwund einen starken Anstieg der Covid-19-Infektionen im Winter, selbst ohne neue Varianten. Wird es noch Vergleichsdaten geben?

Die RKI-Meldungen folgen weiter dem Modell vom 25.4.26. Ohne neue Varianten erwartet diese eine Welle mit maximaler Inzidenz~87*200 (87=Dunkelzifferschätzung) im Dezember ⇒nitter.net/Martin46er1/status/209… und insgesamt ~12 Mio Infektionen in 2026. Die Vorhersage ist sehr unsicher.

#CDC was informed of 3 more pediatric #flu deaths, 2 in the soon-to-end 2025-26 season & 1 from 2024-25. That brings the totals to 195 this year & 298 last year. Bad years for kids & flu. Flu is ticking up a bit, but all areas are still reporting minimal activity. cdc.gov/fluview/surveillance…

The US Pacific Northwest region has a seasonal record high spike in Flu Like Illness, highest ever in at least 23 years! Only 2 years had higher levels
Washington state has seasonal record high Flu Like Illness and had record high spikes 2 weeks in a row! It's 443% higher than 2019! Is this FAFO?

“Covid aside” explains it all. They still don’t get that “sinus infection” has been Covid’s alias since 2020. You could tell them they got sick from licking a 2019 gas station slushie machine spout and they would believe every word. Yet suggest it’s Covid, and people just act like you made it up. 🤦‍♀️

Ah, but you're the champion of repeated infections with COVID-19, which disproportionately disables women who are often abandoned to homelessness & deaths of despair? Isn't that strange...Weird for you, Natty! Adam will be first to ditch you! panaccindex.info/p/what-do-w…
