Wastewater concentrations and/or test positivity is climbing in almost every state. I think another surge is brewing. If you are a new follower, I update these each weekend, as well as the few countries with data and all of the metro areas.

My concerns are rising quickly.

Mass death of seals raises fears bird flu is jumping between mammals, threatening new pandemic

Avian flu has been found in seals that died a 'mass mortality event' in the Caspian Sea. Now scientists are investigating whether it is the first transmission of the virus between mammals in the wild

Be sure to read the responses as well. I'm betting either a new COVID variant or, based on one report, severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia driven by immune dysregulation from COVID. Watch for a global azithromycin shortage.

@dazult_pdempsey Also remember all of the people who are buying into the antivaccine rhetoric around it being developed too quickly and thus refusing it. I bet they would feel the same about this.

An argument that most people wouldn't follow 5 days of isolation so get rid of the guideline is analogous to getting rid of speed limits because most people speed and telling people to slow down if they are in an accident.

I've never been a prepper until the start of the pandemic. With the arrival of supplies today, I can have 2 months of potable water stored in about 15 minutes and have about 4-5 months of emergency food.

ECMO is trending. For those who don't know, it's essentially temporary heart lung bypass, similar to what is used during open heart surgery. Tell me again how COVID is just a cold. Watch the colors on the map change from green to red and yellow soon.

"To put this into context, BF.7 is believed to have an R0, or basic reproduction number, of 10 to 18.6. This means an infected person will transmit the virus to an average of 10 to 18.6 other people. Research has shown omicron has an average R0 of 5.08."

COVID: what we know about new omicron variant BF.7

Reports from China indicate BF.7 is quicker to transmit and has greater capacity to escape prior immunity than other omicron subvariants. But we shouldn’t be alarmed at this stage.

@DMHerinya Yes, pretty much the same things as COVID. A traditional vaccine was developed for it years ago. I am more worried about fomite transmission than I was with COVID. I don't have a good answer about foodborne.

US COVID hospital admissions by age. Why this is being called a "slight uptick" is beyond me, especially given that the number of hospitals reporting suspected COVID dropped by about 1/2 (dotted lines). Even though this data became available yesterday, it's two weeks old.

So, looking for more on the current Covid surge in Japan I stumbled upon a video (shortened for tweet). This is so sad. But, it’s our Govts we should be angry w/ for delivering us to a place where putting each other at risk of potentially life changing illnesses is common place.
