Following the same trends as the last few weeks, COVID-19 declines continue across all regions of the U.S. We are still in a lull of moderate spread between surges, making it a good time to stock up on safety supplies and prepare for the winter. Even with lower current infections, though, deaths and disability from…

In the U.S., COVID-19 spread remains on the decline across all parts of the country. While levels are still moderately high, this and the next couple of weeks are likely to have the lowest COVID-19 levels we see for a while (before an anticipated winter surge picks up). If you’ve been putting off appointments for…

COVID-19 spread is still declining from this summer’s peak, with wastewater and healthcare system data showing decreases across regions. Disease levels are unlikely to drop too much further, though, before a new variant and cold weather behavior contribute to a winter surge.

We’re still in the long, slow decline period of this summer’s COVID-19 surge. Disease spread remains high across the country as viral levels in wastewater, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations creep downward. We may get a brief lull in transmission before an inevitable winter surge, but levels are unlikely to drop far enough to really…

This summer’s COVID-19 surge continues to wane slowly. Disease levels are still very high and may even be increasing in some regions across the U.S. The start of school and onset of colder weather are driving new outbreaks, while vaccination is unlikely to make a dent in transmission due to failures of access and communication.

Our COVID-19 picture in the U.S. remains mixed — though still at very high levels. Disease spread on the West Coast is finally in a clear downturn, putting an end to the region’s long and intense summer surge in sight, but infections are still increasing in other regions. And new vaccines are out (including Novavax),…
