Covid-19

  • Chart from the CDC. Text at the top reads: "This chart shows national and regional trends of wastewater viral activity levels of SARS-COV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19)." The chart shows the past year of data, April 2024 to April 2025. National trends are shown with a black line, and regional trends are in different colors: yellow for the Midwest, purple for the South, light blue for the Northeast, teal for the West. All four regions had significant COVID-19 waves in summer 2024 and winter 2024-25; the winter wave led to less disease spread at its peak but was longer, and current disease levels are now higher than they were at this time last year.

  • Chart from the CDC, titled: "Percentage of Emergency Department (ED) Visits Diagnosed as COVID-19, by Week, in The United States, Reported to CDC." The chart's X axis is time, spanning November 2022 to March 2025, and the Y axis is the percent of emergency department (ED) visits diagnosed as COVID-19. The chart shows COVID-19 waves in winter 2022-23, summer 2023, winter 2023-24, summer 2024, and winter 2024-25. Following the latest wave, the % of ED visits diagnosed as COVID-19 has been stuck at a relatively high plateau, with the most recent value (over 0.5%) higher than the lows in between past waves.

  • A set of four charts, titled "Regional Wastewater Concentrations." All four are line charts showing data from November 2023 through March 2025, with colored lines representing the four U.S. regions: yellow for Northeast, purple for Midwest, green for West, pink for South. The influenza A, influenza B, and RSV charts show clear waves over winter 2023-24 and 2024-25; the COVID-19 chart also shows a summer 2024 wave.

  • Line chart titled, "SARS-CoV-2, All Wastewater Sites." The chart shows the national average of coronavirus readings in wastewater from across the U.S., representing sites in WWSCAN's network. The Y axis represents quantity of nucleic acids (PPMoV Normalized, x1 million) and the Y axis represents time, going from October 2023 to March 2025. It shows a major wave in winter 2023-24, a smaller wave in summer 2024, and then another smaller but longer wave in winter 2024-25, now plateaued at a moderate level.

  • 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%.
