Medical workers seem to be more hostile about masks than anyone, which is disturbing. Today, for a thyroid ultrasound, I requested that the tech wear one, and when I arrived in my N95 Aura, I got the nastiest looks from the staff. The tech was begrudging too. I hate this timeline.

US Weekly COVID update: Jun 29, 2026 🔸1 in 264 Actively Infectious 🔸186,000 Daily Infections 🔸1,300,000 Infections In The Past Week 🔸83,000,000 Infections in 2026 🔸65,000 to 260,000 Weekly Long COVID Cases 🔸300 to 600 Weekly Excess Deaths Source: pmc19.com

A COVID-19 Heat Map infographic from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC), dated June 29, 2026, with data last updated June 20. The map displays United States counties color-coded by CDC relative wastewater levels and PMC prevalence estimates: Very Low (light blue, <0.9%), Low (light green, 1.2%), Moderate (orange, 2.0%), High (red, 2.9%), and Very High (maroon/pink, >3.5%).
A text summary below the map identifies 10 hot spots. Major outbreaks are noted in central/southeast Texas and Guam (both Very High). Other listed spikes include south central Oregon (High); specific California counties like San Benito, Fresno, and Napa (High to Very High); northeast Nevada (Very High); southeast Alabama (High); Newton County in Georgia (High); western West Virginia (High to Very High); Hunterdon County in New Jersey (High); and Chenango County in New York (Very High).

A National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.) infographic from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) dated June 29, 2026. The data is broken into three main sections:
• Infections: Proportion actively infectious is 1 in 264 (0.4%). New daily infections are 186,000. Infections in the past week are 1,300,000. Total infections in 2026 stand at 83,000,000. Cumulative infections per person is 5.33.
• Long COVID: Cases resulting from new daily infections range from 9,000 to 37,000. Cases from new weekly infections range from 65,000 to 260,000.
• Excess Deaths: Deaths resulting from new daily infections range from 50 to 80. Deaths from new weekly infections range from 300 to 600.
A closing note explains that the cumulative infection count had a maximum date bug that previously stopped updates, causing an apparent jump from 5.16 to 5.33 this week.

An infographic titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) model, dated June 29, 2026. It presents a data table for U.S. states and territories alphabetically from Alabama to Mississippi.
Columns detail the CDC Level, PMC Estimate of % Actively Infectious, and the percentage chance that anyone is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people.
Most locations listed are at "Very Low" or "Low" levels, with actively infectious rates ranging from 0.1% to 1.5%. Mississippi is highlighted at "Moderate*" level with 1.9% actively infectious. Guam is highlighted in red at "Very High" level, showing 4.2% actively infectious (1 in 24 people), resulting in a 35% chance of an infectious person in a room of 10 people, and a 99% chance in a room of 100 people. A footnote indicates an asterisk means limited data reporting.

An infographic titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" (Page 5) from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) model, dated June 29, 2026. It continues the data table for U.S. states and territories from Missouri to Wyoming.
Columns detail the CDC Level, PMC Estimate of % Actively Infectious, and transmission probabilities for rooms of 10, 25, 50, and 100 people.
Nearly all listed states are at a "Very Low" CDC Level. Texas is the highest on this page, marked at a "Low" level with 0.9% actively infectious (1 in 109 people), leading to a 60% chance that someone is infectious in a room of 100 people. Oregon and Puerto Rico follow with 0.6% actively infectious. Nebraska has the lowest rate at 0.1% (1 in 1,305). A partial note at the bottom highlights that Puerto Rico has been newly added to the table with this update.
