Covid-19

  • Chart titled, "Americans' Return to Pre-Pandemic Normalcy." Text at the top reads: "Thinking about your life before the start of the coronavirus, would you say your life right now is completely back to normal, somewhat back to normal but not completely normal, or not yet back to normal? If not back to normal: Do you think your life will ever get completely back to the “normal” that existed before the coronavirus pandemic?" The green line representing "completely back to normal" is at 47% in the most recent poll results; the dark blue line representing "no, but will get back" is at 13%; and the light blue line representing "no, will never get back to normal" is at 40%.

  • Line chart titled, "National SARS-CoV-2 Wastewater Concentrations." The Y axis is "effective concentration, copies/mL" and the X axis is time, going from March 2020 to March 2025. The chart shows COVID-19's many waves in the U.S. over the last five years; the most recent weeks of data show a smaller winter peak followed by a high plateau.

  • State-by-state map of the U.S., with states color-coded according to "Respiratory illness activity." Green represents low, orange is moderate, red is high, purple is very high, and gray is data unavailable. Most states across the U.S. are in the moderate or high category, with a few at very high (Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Hampshire, Kansas, Oklahoma) and low (Alabama, North Dakota, New Mexico, Nevada). Text at the bottom of the map reads: "Data last updated on February 19, 2025 and presented through February 15, 2025. View this dataset on data.cdc.gov."

  • Line chart, titled "SARS-CoV-2, All Wastewater Sites." The Y axis shows quantity of nucleic acids, PMMoV normalized (x 1 million), and the X axis shows time, going from summer 2023 through early 2025. The chart shows waves of infections in summer 2023, winter 2023-24, summer 2024, then winter 2024-25. The latest wave is lower in magnitude but longer than prior ones.

  • Map of the U.S. by state, with states color-coded according to their influenza-like illness (ILI) activity level. Most states are colored in purple or red to indicate very high or high levels of flu-like disease. Text below the map read: "*This map uses the proportion of outpatient visits to healthcare providers for influenza-like illness to measure the ILI activity level within a state. It does not, however, measure the extent of geographic spread of flu within a state. Therefore, outbreaks occurring in a single city could cause the state to display high activity levels. *Data collected in ILINet may disproportionately represent certain populations within a state, and therefore may not accurately depict the full picture of influenza activity for the whole state. *Data displayed in this map are based on data collected in ILINet, whereas the State and Territorial flu activity map are based on reports from state and territorial epidemiologists. The data presented in this map is preliminary and may change as more data is received."
