"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey. Update due June 13.
Lower "Living with" figure aligns to change in question format—now asks about duration.
As more and more folk experience Long Covid, fewer and fewer have been staffing our hospitals.

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Great Lakes—sole reporting region eight weeks ago—fell off map six weeks ago.
CDC—public health authority for United States—has map on their website that shows they don't have variant estimates for any region of the United States.
State-level public health agencies have just stopped collecting sufficient data.

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
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.]

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Given evidence linking covid infection to sudden onset liver damage, recent increased liver disease mortality's hardly surprising.
Final mortality data for 2020—released Sept '23—reveals spike in accidental deaths driven by poisonings & exposure to noxious substances.
2021 data remains long overdue: https://disabled.social/@beadsland/111978043518156275

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
CDC now withholds voluntarily reported hospital capacity data, previously available on a weekly basis from HHS:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112430074444014571
Excluding not only facilities level data, but also pediatric capacity data. Making below map impossible to maintain.
Only information CDC deigns divulge is pediatric covid-19 admissions, yet not pediatric influenza admissions—despite tracking such otherwise:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420575972530938
This map retained as historical document.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Now that CDC has assumed control of hospital capacity data, we no longer have public access to facilities level data:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112505690372394194
This despite the fact that hospitals are still voluntarily reporting that data.
This means that we no longer have ability to roll up facility-level capacity data to county-level choropleth, CDC having determined public only has a right to state-level data.
Below chart thus only maintained as a historical document.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Fifth week of SLip (S:F456L) wave, edge into first week of FLiRT wavelet.
Possibly short-lived, as leading FLiRT variant KP.2 already overshadowed by non-FLiRT (S:Q493E) KP.3.
CDC breaks out FLiRT variant LB.1 (notably, not of KP clan), SLip variant XDV.1, and non-SLiP (S:T572I) JN.1.4.3 / KQ.
KP.2.3, already significant in GISAID data, not yet broken out by CDC.

May 1, mandatory reporting of hospital capacity data ended. May 3, HHS released their final raw datasets through April 27:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112362054534487955
May 10, CDC released expurgated version of hospitals data. Despite some 95% of hospitals from prior week still voluntarily reporting, much data no longer available:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420096734681972
National trends should still be useable—will integrate once finished with variants chart updates:

With hospital capacity going from mandatory to voluntary, control of public data was transferred from HHS to CDC:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420181964381951
CDC's expurgated public data file provides no information about capacity in pediatric wards and children's hospitals:
https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420512694255522
Thus, the below chart will receive no further updates. Being maintained for now as a historical document.
Let's hope we won't regret the loss of data:

"Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)…continues to struggle daily with unprecedented overcrowding – particularly in its Emergency Department (ED)."
Statistics, as always, are structural.
If MGH can be in 16-month unprecedented crisis w/out ever topping 100% reported capacity, imagine degree of crisis in hospitals ≥100%.
That said, HHS data didn't include ED patients awaiting inpatient beds—as of May, we don't even have HHS data.
Now a historical document.

Still dealing with family emergencies this week, so analysis of changes to questionnaire format will still have to wait:
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Less purple on wastewater map, though still above-average to moderate at multiple sites in Illinois, Oregon & Kansas.
To clarify, above-average on the first chart is in comparison to this past winter's flu season.
Seeing moderate orange and orange-yellow outpatient respiratory illness in Florida, California & Arkansas.
CDC page for second map is decidedly sparse, providing no real guidance as to scale.
