PMC COVlD Update (U.S.) Nov 2, 2026 Transmission typically falls in October, but not this year. We're seeing the highest levels for this time of year relative to any prior year since pandemic onset. Let that sink in. Presently, 47 states and territories have known outbreaks. The PMC model estimates that >1 million Americans are getting infected each day, meeting our criteria for characterizing transmission as a "surge." We estimate that 1 in 43 Americans are actively infectious, varing considerably be region. Watch the video to learn why I am especially concerned. Find more data and our weekly report: PMC19.com Check out our interactive map: PMC19.com/map Also, we just added a new feature. You can enter a custom URL to zoom in on your region. For me, it is PMC19.com/70118 Just replace the numbers with your own zip code. Please drop any questions in the comments!

Disaster. My teen son just had ocular symptoms and was quite sick. Portland OR metro. He had his last vax in April. I got a vax in September and have not gotten sick. This is basically a description of his illness😪

Ty Dr. Hoerger for this very important health information 🙏🏼 The fact that this intense surge 🦠 is “atypical” further displays the fact that we’re still very much in an ongoing pandemic 😷 despite the gaslighting @CovidDataReport @BigBadDenis @drseanmullen @BigBadDenis @WHO

This is the surge that finally got me. My first infection. First symptoms October 30. Tested+ Nov 1. I'm immune compromised and a careful masker. Feeling disheartened. My docs got me on an antiviral immediately. I'm determined to make this my "one and done" infection.

Halloween always seemed like the launch point for the winter wave. This year it might be the turbo booster. Just went to a concert with 18,000 people meaning over 400 of them could have been Covid positive. Saw about 10 others masked total, but three of them were in our row!

Why “test daily when sick”? If you already tested positive is there value to testing more? Maybe I am confused.

May I ask that you also provide a written explanation of why you are concerned? Too many folks don't have the bandwidth to watch a video. Like me 👋

Seems like one possibility is that a slower to peak wave will push back the normal lull to later in the fall. Is there reason to think this might not happen — such as a new variant coming to the fore? Please advise.

Might so many people having COVID so close to the winter surge time, reduce the severity of the winter surge? Or is that offset by all of those people giving COVID to yet more people?

How can I share this video with somebody who is not on twitter? Is it on YouTube or a site?

Here's my question: why has NY so far been spared this summer/fall? A couple of counties were hot spots briefly, but overall transmission has been low since March.

Just another interesting data point below: xitter.twitterapi.xyz/notostriching/status/2…
Spain 🇪🇸 - Use of prescription medication has exploded since onset of c19 pandemic. (See averages, represented by dotted lines, prior to 2020 and after…)

Ganz einfach: Zur Impfung gehen !! Ich habe meine Covid-19-Auffrischungsimpfung am 1. September in einer Apotheke erhalten und am 24. September meine Grippeschutzimpfung bei meinem Hausarzt ....

That's an important observation. Would you agree?

Transmission of disease does not happen. It's never been established in over 200 years of controlled experiments that symptomatic contagion of any disease ever happens. You can´t get sick from sick people's breath.
