"In the meantime, trackers like the Walgreens public positivity tracker can be used as an additional indicator for where positive cases are happening–and it too suggests a continued increase in cases, with a national positivity rate of 44.7% as of last week, the highest rate since May 2021." https://www.walgreens.com/healthcare-solutions/covid-19-index

DR. MONICA GANDHI
will introduce and discuss her new book
ENDEMIC: A POST-PANDEMIC PLAYBOOK
"This book is a clarion call for reason while also assessing the story, science, and politics thus far with its hits and misses, and providing a roadmap for the future of COVID-19 variants and future epidemic crises.

I’m feeling angry and embarrassed. I made an appointment for my husband and I to get another bivalvent booster at a nearby pharmacy (last shot was Sep 2022).

The pharmacy tech said we aren’t eligible for boosters — we’re mid-50s and not treated for serious illnesses.

Only about 20% of Americans have gotten a bivalent booster — shouldn’t anyone be able to get one if it’s been more than 6 months?

Are insurance companies balking now that the emergency is “over”?

P.S. we got what we believe was COVID in Mar ‘20 — but too young to be tested in those early days — then caught it again last summer. I really don’t want it again and I don’t want to give it to anyone else!
P.P.S. I’m pretty sure the hypertension I never had before 2020 is due to COVID.

“Yes, it's true, you could be contagious and not know it. But right now, transmission rates are low … So that means the likelihood of catching COVID is low”

You can’t possibly know that cases are low. The COVID-19 data that might tell you that aren’t being collected or reported anymore. Lack of data isn’t lack of disease!

Not taking pandemic precautions while you watch your vulnerable friends continue to isolate into perpetuity and seeing your other friends drop dead from post covid organ failures means you have accepted eugenics.
You can change this any time you want by facing reality and stop trying to live like it's 2019.
You can stop your friends dying at any time.

I have some news. I'll be starting some health related project work soon which I haven't done in many years (still continuing with the counselling work too). So yes, it is possible to be the only one wearing an N95, with hair you've cut yourself in a ponytail and be offered the job.
Interestingly I only just started looking and had it listed as an "April goal" in my bullet journal and now here it is. #n95 #masking #pandemicisnotover

As of April 20, about 40% of reporting US counties are experiencing substantial or higher COVID transmission based on available data.

Why aren’t we hearing about COVID waves anymore? Because COVID is at ‘a high tide’ — and staying there

@jeffjarvis So sorry to hear, Jeff. May you and your family be comforted by all the memories you all shared. You are entirely correct: #COVID19 is not over.

“Covid-19 is still circulating widely, and we have recently seen increases in older people being hospitalised. It is important those at highest risk of severe illness do not become complacent and I would encourage everyone who is eligible to come forward once the booster programme starts.”

For me was today, 3 years ago, when the lockdown started. I'm still making coffee, washing my hands, and putting my mask up when meeting people.
