As the winter months approach, it should now be very clear: we cannot *manifest* our way to the end of the pandemic.
The current situation calls for solutions, not a grieving process that should be hustled along to the final stage of acceptance.

COVID-19 is not "just the flu."
New research by @zalaly shows that COVID-19 is significantly more harmful than flu, and that most of the harms come after the acute phase of the illness has passed. Read More:

December 18th Update:
Case increases continue, with JN.1 Pirola dominance expected within a week. Near 1 million/day, and not near the peak yet.
🔸965,000 new infections/day
🔸1 in every 340 became infected today
🔸1 in every 34 people currently infected

🔹Preliminary winter forecast is out. As JN.1 Pirola grows, it is forecast to push numbers up quickly in the coming weeks.
There is a decent amount of uncertainty on how far JN.1 will penetrate our population's resistances, so a reasonable range for the peak is provided.

Latinos and African Americans suffer the nation’s highest rates of Long Covid. Yet systematic health care inequality and poor outreach have resulted in clinics with mostly white patient lists.

Latest Biobot data shows U.S. COVID wastewater levels are rising again, and higher than they have ever been compared to the same date in previous years.
In other words, COVID levels are still high and taking longer to go down after this winter's peak. Keep taking precautions.

How long are you contagious with COVID-19?
Here's what the science says:
➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days
➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset
➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever
➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness

People of color, those with lower incomes, and others with marginalized identities may be similarly less likely to have medical documentation of Long Covid symptoms, leading to inaccurate death certificates if they pass away.

New study. Researchers found that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to fibrin, a blood protein that forms clots, leading to the formation of abnormal blood clots with increased inflammatory activity in patients with Covid-19 and Long Covid.

It has a decided growth advantage, with higher infectivity and immune evasion compared with prior SARS-CoV-2 variants
