    A summer COVID-19 surge is likely on the way in the U.S. While the disease is still spreading at more moderate levels in most of the country, there are signals of increased viral spread in parts of the West and East Coasts. New variants are likely to accelerate outbreaks from summer travel and gatherings. And…

    Everyone in the COVID-tracking space is watching for a summer surge. Disease levels in the U.S. remain on the lower end as of late May, but I see warning signs for potential increases soon: cases are going up in some West Coast states, and new variant NB.1.8.1 has reached the U.S.

    While national COVID-19 metrics continue to report slight declines, multiple weeks of increased spread in some parts of the U.S. (particularly on the West Coast) suggest we are getting closer to a summer wave. Plus, the latest available data are from before Memorial Day weekend, which tends to be the start of summer travel and…

    The U.S. remains in a moderate lull between COVID-19 surges, with national metrics reporting slow declines through mid-May. There are increases in disease spread in a few West Coast states, however, and new variants now arriving in the country are likely to spur outbreaks this summer. Also, Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine is finally approved — but…

    National COVID-19 metrics continue to report declines, as the U.S. remains in a moderate lull between winter and summer surges. There are signs of increased disease spread on the West Coast, indicating that this region may experience the start of a summer wave before others.

    COVID-19 trends in the U.S. remain similar to their status over the last few weeks: at a moderate plateau nationally, with all metrics reporting very little change. There are a few states that have reported increases in recent weeks, but it’s difficult to tell if these are more isolated hotspots or early signs of a…

    We remain in a moderate period between COVID-19 surges in the U.S., with all national metrics reporting plateaus or slight declines. Some data sources suggest that infections may be starting to go up in parts of the South, but these data are tentative so far. Meanwhile, Trump-appointed health officials are threatening the approval process for…

    National COVID-19 metrics in the U.S. reported slight declines this week, indicating that we’re still in a moderate disease period between surges. SARS-CoV-2 levels appear to be trending back down in the Northeast following recent increases. Even in these “lower-risk” periods, COVID-19 still causes hundreds of deaths each week — a fact that government leaders…

    Combining my experience building COVID-safe communities online and interviews with over a dozen COVID-cautious people who are “still COVIDing” despite a lack of community, family, and/or peer support, I learned that many are stuck in situations that make living a normal life difficult or impossible because of widespread COVID-19 denial. This essay is a collection…
