National COVID-19 trends, November 25
CDC data continue to come back online following the end of the government shutdown. Those data indicate that COVID-19 levels through mid-November remain much lower than what we see during surges, but are starting to increase in parts of the U.S.; different metrics disagree on which parts.

National COVID-19 trends, October 28
We’ve now passed one month into the U.S. government shutdown — and one month without COVID-19 or other infectious disease data updates from the CDC.

National COVID-19 trends, June 24
National COVID-19 metrics in the U.S. continue to report consistent disease levels across much of the country — as I noted last week, I remain pleasantly surprised that we haven’t seen a sharper uptick yet this summer.

National COVID-19 trends, June 10
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.

National COVID-19 trends, November 12
Our moderate lull between surges continues. COVID-19 levels in the U.S. remain lower than typical for this time of year — though still much higher than the true lows in 2020-2021.
