"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey—resume after three month hiatus.
Gap in data collection makes jump hard to interpret. New data scheduled Thurs.
As more & more folk experience Long Covid, fewer & fewer have been staffing our hospitals.

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Per WHO, every 12 minutes four people die of acute covid. Three of those deaths are in U.S.
As of Apr 2023, for every three covid deaths, U.S. saw another excess death not attributed to covid.
Feb 2024 WHO & Economist estimates reflect same trend globally.
[Global chart stalled. WHO dash remains at Mar 3.]

Here's hoping—as Nex's killers uncharged, Rittenhouse on speaking tour, Gaza & Haiti near famine, shingles rising, suicide hotlines share data, Alberta bans wind, Johnson wants Bibi to speak, herbariums close, Bengaluru water running out, strep A & pertussis rising, Israel seizes 800 hectares, and House would ban UNRWA funding & close DEI office—that all those reading this are having a week wherein they & theirs are putting health & welfare of those they love—and share air with—first & foremost.

Given evidence linking covid infection to sudden onset liver damage, recent increased liver disease mortality's hardly surprising.
Final mortality data for 2020—released in Sept—reveals spike in accidental deaths driven by poisonings & exposure to noxious substances.

Great Lakes region fallen off map.
JN.1.13 already estimated near one in six share in NY/NJ, near one in ten in Mid-Atlantic, displaced JN.1.18 for 2nd position in Southeast.
JN.1.18 & JN.1.13 had together carved out little more than 2% of estimates in Southwest—where undifferentiated JN.1 still near 95% share.

Folk are dying at record numbers, of comorbidities of severe acute covid that are also implicated as post-acute sequelae of covid infection. ↺
Of course, ongoing hospital staffing attrition also contributes to elevated death tolls. Said attrition continues. ↺
[CDC ended excess death reporting Sep 27.]

Thirteenth week of Pirola BA.2.86 grankid JN.1 wave. Per GISAID, entering March, approaching two thirds of this likely attributable to variants—including upstart JN.1.4.
JN.1.4 still near ⅕ of JN sequences in GISAID.
Lineages still evident in GISAID plurality Eris fam, although upstart XBB.1.41.1 grankid JC.5.1 ekes out singletons across multiple states.

Early March, JN.1 family has diversified sufficiently for designation of four new pango aliases: JN.1.11.1 / KP, JN.1.4.3 / KQ, JN.1.1.5 / KR & JN.1.13.1 / KS; and five recombinants: XDD, XDK, XDN, XDP, and XDR.
After being nearly squeezed out by JN.1, other lineages are starting to reemerge from GISAID dataset, including Eris, JC.1, Kraken, Arcturus & Acrux.

Occupied beds in excess of staffed beds indicates that patients are not receiving adequate care.
For comparison, Suffolk County, MA is at 93% adult hospital capacity, 90% adult ICU.
Mass. General—at 96% capacity/97% ICU—largest of some dozen Suffolk hospitals already 17 months into "unprecedented capacity crisis".

"Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)…continues to struggle daily with unprecedented overcrowding – particularly in its Emergency Department (ED)."
Statistics, as always, are structural.
Data reported to HHS don't include ED patients awaiting inpatient beds. Moreover, weekly data can easily obscure daily overcrowding.
If MGH can be in 16-month unprecedented crisis w/out ever topping 100% reported capacity, just imagine degree of crisis in hospitals ≥100%.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Some 49 (+6) counties are reporting ≥ 100% capacity per HHS data.
Reporting ≥ 90%: 230 (-10)—over one in ten of those w/ any capacity.
This includes surge & overflow beds—near full can mean E/Rs with hours-long even day-long wait times.
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112096016017762251
For counties w/ ICUs—near one in five are full or near full.

Pediatric staffing never recovered to pre-omicron levels. Rather, all but one in five pediatric beds reported May of 2022: now missing.
PICU Capacity Level (not shown): 70%.
Weekly average ~110 PICU beds were covid patients.
We're failing our kids. The emergency is over.

Some 324 (-8) counties reporting pediatric care near or over capacity (≥ 90%).
Of 279 (-1) counties reporting any PICU capacity, over one in four are near or over full.
So many places where there ain't enough staff for sick or injured kids to receive required care.

Capacity Level has been elevated since independence from the virus was declared three summers ago—as fewer & fewer professionals have been available to staff hospital beds.
Critical Staffing Level, already at 2021 levels, has been further elevated for near a year—with some one in nine reporting hospitals at critical shortage.
