"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey. Update due July 11.
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.

[This is first toot of weekly thread, updated daily, providing various dataviz of ongoing #pandemic.]
Last week: https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112674181637334844
"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.
Ninth week of SLip (S:F456L) wave; fifth week of FLiRT wavelet…
As FLuQE (S:Q493E) KP.3 continues to out-compete FDA's second-guess vaccine target, KP.2
Legend now names vaccine targets; also separates non-KP FLiRT carcinizations from KP FLiRT carcinizations.
No updated NYITCOM GISAID data this week. Of half dozen significant variants not broken out by CDC, KP.3.1.1 got new Pango alias, MC.

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
After 3 months of "not available" regional map, #CDC Nowcast now defaults to four weeks ago. Still blank for current fortnight—though not for two weeks prior.
Two weeks ago, KP.3 was ⅓ share in most regions, except for:
New England: KP.2 at ⅓
NY/NJ: LB.1 at ⅓
Mid-Atlantic: KP.2 & LB.1 neck-n'-neck
Gr. Lakes: KP.2 & KP.3 neck-n'-neck

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Notably, despite #CDC having made regional estimates available on their map for a fortnight prior, this data is not available via the public download, in which the earliest regional data is four week ago.
Also, absurdly, CDC's palette of emerging variant colors has a spring/summer theme—bouquet pink, sand dune, reef green, coral red and purply wisteria join KP.2's greyish blue.
Finally, in spite of apparent feature improvements to pie chart flyovers, ghosts of "not available" condition remain:
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Food for thought:
LB.1 was third of two-weeks old New York/New Jersey estimate; roughly one-in-five in neighboring Mid-Atlantic and New England.
That said, LB.1 has two mutations in common with its fellow FLiRT variant, and second-guess vaccine target, KP.2, such that LB.1, like KP.3, is only two steps removed from KP.2.
However, in a scenario where, as an example, a non-KP SLip lineage picked up S:Q493E, joining KP.3 as another FLuQE, then JN.1, not KP.2, would be the closer vaccine target.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
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:

"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
"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.
"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.
While headlines declare mystery of H5N1 in Michigan wastewater, half dozen Illinois wastewater sites pop high or above average flu. Oregon and California also feature.
#CDC has applied a thick black border to markers on wastewater map, making it much harder to read.
Illness data again showing Houston/Sugar Land area as hotspot, on map that did not the week prior. Cape Coral/Fort Myers continues to ping.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.

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:
