I'm thinking more about Thanksgiving-related data/reporting issues or ppl delaying getting care. You're right, I don't think it would be from Thanksgiving-related transmission yet

The US purchased 171 million bivalent BA.5 booster shots; <10% have been given.
There's a new wave on the way, fueled by BQ.1.1.
A booster is your best shot to add protection vs severe Covid

At an important event, every five minutes scrolling for more news about the counteroffensive 👀

This is amazing! Thank you! I've been switching back and forth between @FiveThirtyEight and @270toWin to try and get a sense of where things stand. Really could have used the two weeks ago lol
I made a midterm elections dashboard using @FiveThirtyEight and @CookPolitical data

As you cleanup on this cold and sunny day, here are some bright thoughts for the week ahead ☀️
Sunrises are back before 7am starting tomorrow
Sunsets after 5p again starting Wednesday
Solar spring begins Saturday

Worth noting that the statistical bodies in the UK are now using a 5 year comparison of 2016-19,21 (ie excluding 20). But deaths were very high in early 21, so the reference is currently higher than a pre-pandemic measure of mortality. I discuss this here

And in every region, the proportion of COVID patients who are being treated *for* COVID is still falling.
Omicron is a very different proposition to Delta for hospitals. Greater pressure from 'incidental' cases and staff absence and less from *for* COVID patients.
Conor Kelly retweeted
This is, I think, interesting. Overall COVID bed occupancy is falling in England, but the fall in patients being treated *for* COVID is bigger, it's just being hidden by a continued rise in patients in hospitals *with* COVID.
Conor Kelly retweeted
The latest Omicron developments are encouraging:
1. New cases are plummeting in a growing list of places.
2. The % of cases causing severe illness is much lower than with Delta.
3. Vaccines remain extremely effective in preventing bad illness.

Nearly two years since the US testing debacle began
18 months since the first serious rapid-test proposals were made
13 months since BinaxNOW received an EUA
Six weeks since “should we just send one to every American?”
But eventually they did it. The beautiful bastards did it
Not gonna lie, best government website I have ever used. You just type your address, click one button, and they send some tests. Many said this could not be done, for some reason. And yet—behold!
