US Weekly COVID update: Sep 28, 2026 Source: pmc19.com
A line graph titled "SARS-CoV-2 New Daily Infections, Wastewater-Derived Estimates (U.S.)" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
The graph plots New Daily Infections along the y-axis (ranging from 0 to over 5,000,000) against years along the x-axis (2020 to 2027). The red data line shows individual waves labelled sequentially from 1 to 13. The highest spike occurs in early 2022 (wave 4), peaking well over 5 million daily infections. Subsequent peaks fluctuate between 1 million and 2.5 million. The final data point shows a rising line labelled 13 heading into late 2026.
A caption 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."
A statistical data table titled "National COVID-19 Risk Table (U.S.)" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
The table maps out the "Chances Anyone is Infectious" based on the total "Number of People" present in a given group. The probabilities scale as follows:
•	1 person: 1.1%
•	5 people: 5.3%
•	10 people: 10.3%
•	25 people: 23.8%
•	50 people: 42.0%
•	100 people: 66.4%
•	200 people: 88.7%
•	300 people: 96.2%
The layout features alternating light blue and white rows for high scannability, with the website pmc19.com noted at the top right.

An infographic report titled "COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data & Standard Levels" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
The top half displays a color-coded map of the United States and its territories, showing localized COVID-19 risk levels by county. A color key at the bottom categorizes standard CDC relative levels and PMC prevalence estimates (proportion actively infectious) into five tiers:
•	Very Low (Blue, <0.9%)
•	Low (Green, 1.2%)
•	Moderate (Orange, 2.0%)
•	High (Red, 2.9%)
•	Very High (Purple, >3.5%)
Large portions of the Southern, Western, and Midwestern U.S. are shaded in dark pink/purple and red, indicating high to very high transmission levels.
Below the map, a text summary states that the US has at least 40 states and territories with COVID outbreaks, matching the previous week's count. It explicitly lists all 40 affected states and territories in alphabetical order, starting with Alabama and ending with Wyoming.
An infographic report titled "National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026. The data is broken down into three main sections:
•	Infections: States that 1 in 92 people (1.1%) are actively infectious. It estimates 532,000 new daily infections, 3,810,000 infections in the past week, 115,000,000 infections in 2026, and a cumulative 5.43 infections per person.
•	Long COVID: Estimates 27,000 to 106,000 Long COVID cases resulting from new daily infections, and 191,000 to 760,000 cases from new weekly infections.
•	Excess Deaths: Estimates 130 to 230 excess deaths resulting from new daily infections, and 900 to 1,700 deaths from new weekly infections.
A data table titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
The table lists U.S. states and territories alphabetically from Alabama to Mississippi. For each location, it tracks data across multiple columns:
•	Standard CDC Level and Revised CDC Level (noting a downshift in categories).
•	PMC Estimate % Actively Infectious: Provides ratios and percentages, such as 1 in 25 (4.0%) for California and 1 in 15 (6.7%) for Hawaii.
•	Chances anyone is infectious in a room of 10 to 100 people: Columns show statistical probabilities for room sizes of 10, 25, 50, and 100 people. For example, in Hawaii, there is a 50% chance in a room of 10 and >99% chance in a room of 100.
A footnote states that on August 14, 2026, the CDC revised categorical descriptors downward without notice.
A data table titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated Sep 28, 2026.
This page continues the alphabetical listing of U.S. states and territories from Missouri to Wyoming. It details:
•	CDC Levels: Compares standard levels against a revised, downshifted CDC tier system.
•	PMC Estimate % Actively Infectious: Lists current ratios and transmission rates. Highlights include Oregon at 1 in 25 (4.1%), Puerto Rico at 1 in 21 (4.8%), and the U.S. Virgin Islands at 1 in 16 (6.2%).
•	Chances anyone is infectious in a room of 10 to 100 people: Shows probabilities for varying group sizes. For example, in Texas, the risk scales from 31% in a room of 10 up to 98% in a room of 100.
Footnotes indicate limited data reporting for some areas and reference a website regarding the CDC's August 2026 downward category revisions.
