You are reading this Tweet during the pandemic.
Transmission is higher this time of year than during any prior September.
Many people have not had a vaccine in the past year and are not using other mitigation. Repeat-infection #LongCOVID should concern all.
ALT Year-over-year graph of Covid transmission using CDC-based data analyzed and reported at pmc19.com/data. Graph shows higher transmission for Aug/Sept than any other year, with projections for higher year-over-year transmission in October and likely November too.

🔥🔥🔥
🔹1 in 40 in the U.S. actively infectious
🔹>1 million daily infections most of the next month
🔹"Lull" likely in early Nov around 850k/day
🔹Highest transmission this time of year (Aug-Nov) all-time
ALT Graph showing the 9 waves of transmission in the U.S. The most recent surge has peaked, barring unprecedented retroactive corrections. Expect 1 million infections/day most of the next month, before a low point around Nov 6 ( /- 2 weeks), before moving into the winter wave.
