PMC estimates the following: 🔹1 in 57 Americans actively infectious 🔹Peak 1 (Sep 19): 945,000 new daily infections (NDIs) 🔹Peak 2 (Oct 10): 924,000 NDIs Levels are atypically high for Oct. Estimates may be retroactively corrected due to low real-time data quality. 🧵2/3

Infections
Proportion Actively Infectious 1 in 57 (1.7%)
New Daily Infections 858,000
Infections the Past Week 6,160,000
Infections in 2026 151,000,000
Cumulative Infections per Person 5.61

Long COVlD
Long COVlD Cases Resulting from New Daily Infections 43,000 to 172,000
Long COVlD Cases Resulting from New Weekly Infections 308,000 to 1,230,000

Excess Deaths
Excess Deaths Resulting from New Daily Infections 210 to 370
Excess Deaths Resulting from New Weekly Infections 1,500 to 2,600

Forecast: transmission expected to decline nationally, but we are seeing nearly unprecedented retroactive corrections, so forecasting quality is lower than typical.

The US has at least 44 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks. The CDC made large, upward retroactive corrections to prior estimates, and we are now in an apparent secondary peak. States with observed outbreaks include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawai’i, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Additional states with poor monitoring likely have outbreaks based on high levels in bordering counties in adjacent states.

There’s an empty storefront near me and every time I pass it I sigh wistfully, imagining my dream used bookstore there. But alas, I lack the funds to start one.

I wonder if the undisclosed medication noted in the article was albuterol. My bedside inhaler was way expired - I just checked it and replaced it this week.

Antisemitism is genuinely rising, and there are people like Tucker Carlson using genuine horror at Israel's genocidal actions to launder real antisemitism into mainstream discourse. But we can't fight this without a strategy of rhetorically separating Jews as a people from Israel as a polity.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

from Melissa Braunstein: "Nobody waged war against civilians. Lies like this from authority figures set dangerous things in motion that negatively affect *American* Jews."

The problem with Mar-A-Lago Face is that because it's mostly on women, it feels like a discussion about desirability and beauty. However, its actual purpose feels more akin to white power tattoos. As in, it's body modification to reflect white nationalism, just expressed along other vectors.

my take on this remains consistent: far more americans are bigoted on this front than I'd like, but transphobia is a luxury belief it's the kind of thing you can get people mad about if and only if they don't have real problems to worry about, and there is no shortage of real problems right now

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

forget that this is the president... it's horrifying enough that we've made an algorithmic hell that rewards animal snuff content, but then giving people the opportunity to generatively replicate that content and spread it further... these all feel like profound spiritual crimes against humanity
