    Missives from the dismissed: Still COVIDing without community

  • 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.
