The U.S. has entered its 13th COVID wave, with an estimated 1 in 86 Americans currently infectious. Around 567,000 new infections are occurring daily, totalling 3.69 million in a week. PMC estimates a single week at this level could result in 900–1,600 excess deaths. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
A line graph titled "SARS-CoV-2 New Daily Infections, Wastewater-Derived Estimates (U.S.)" from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated September 7, 2026.
The graph plots estimated daily COVID-19 infections from 2020 through late 2026, with the y-axis ranging from 0 to over 5,000,000. Individual pandemic waves are numbered sequentially from 1 to 13, with a massive peak at wave 4 in early 2022. Wave 13 is shown ticking upwards at the far-right edge.
A central prominent box highlights the date Sep 7, 2026, with a note stating "Preliminary estimates for the past nine days." The graph is attributed to Michael Hoerger, PhD, MSCR, MBA (@michael_hoerger) and references pmc19.com. A text box at the bottom states: "PMC identifies 12 SARS-CoV-2 waves and estimates averages of 5.4 infections per person and 14.5 months between infections."
