  • Infographic from JAMA Pediatrics, describing Long COVID in children. The graphic features a pink background and a pink version of a SARS-CoV-2 molecule in one corner. Text reads: "Long COVID happens when a child continues to have symptoms at least months after having a COVID-19 infection. Sometimes symptoms change, or symptoms may reappear after feeling better. Signs and symptoms of long COVID are variable in children of different ages." The graphic then lists symptoms and signs by age group, such as trouble sleeping in infants and toddlers (0-2 y), and trouble with memory or focusing in school-aged children (6-11 y).

Covid-19

  • Title: "This chart shows national and regional trends of wastewater viral activity levels of SARS-COV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19)." The chart is set to show data from the last six months, or June to early December 2024. It shows a major surge across regions (highest in the West coast) over the summer, followed by a plateau over October and November, and recently a new, stark uptick in disease levels. The Midwest has the highest levels and most prominent increase compared to other regions.

  • Line chart showing national average SARS-CoV-2 levels in U.S. wastewater over time, October 2023 through December 2024. The title reads, "SARS–CoV–2, All Wastewater Sites." The Y axis shows quantity of nucleic acids, PMMoV Normalized x 1 million, and the X axis shows sample collection date. The chart shows a major wave in fall 2023-early 2024 and a second one in summer 2024, followed by a moderate plateau over October and November. Disease levels started going up again at the end of November.

  • Two state-by-state maps are presented side by side. In both, states are colored according to epidemic trends: growing and likely growing in dark and light purple, declining and likely declining in dark and light green, not changing in gray, not estimated in white. The map on the left, representing COVID-19, has a mix of green and purple. Text above it reads: "As of November 26, 2024, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 10 states, declining or likely declining in 15 states, and not changing in 22 states." The map on the right, representing influenza, has more purple and only one state in green. Text above it reads: "As of November 26, 2024, we estimate that influenza infections are growing or likely growing in 33 states, declining or likely declining in 1 state, and not changing in 8 states."

  • Line chart titled, "Percentage of Outpatient Visits for Respiratory Illness Reported by the U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet), Weekly National Summary, 2024-25 Season and Selected Previous Seasons." The Y axis shows % of visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) while the X axis shows time in the flu season. ILI visits have been increasing over the last few weeks, as shown with a red line on the chart (2024-25 season), and are progressing similarly to the 2019-20 season (light blue line). The most recent data point, about 2.7%, is close to the threshold for flu season at 3%.

  • Line chart showing COVID-19 hospitalizations per 100,000 people in the U.S. The chart goes from fall 2022 through fall 2024. The 2022-23 season, in bright blue, had a higher peak than the 2023-24 season, in red. The current hospitalization rate, in light blue, is much lower than the rate reported at this time in 2023. The most recent two values on the chart are marked with a dashed line to indicate provisional data.

  • Line chart showing SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater from fall 2023 through fall 2024, titled, "SARS-CoV-2, All Wastewater Sites." The Y axis represents quantity of nucleic acids, PMMoV Normalized (x 1 million) while the X axis represents time. Levels rose significantly in winter 2023 and then again in summer 2024, and are now in a moderate plateau as of early November 2024.
