We have had a steady state of about a half million infections the past several weeks. That's over 50 million estimated infections so far in 2025.
In a room of 40-50 people, there's a 1-in-3 chance of exposure if no testing/isolation.

There's a good chance of steady transmission the next month. Often, we'd head into a low lull about now. BUT there are no universal precautions, immunity is waning from the fall & winter 2023-24, & viral evolution looks less 'lucky.'

We just passed the 5-year anniversary, now with 10 waves in the U.S.
Americans may see an average of about 8 infections by year 10. We continue to see about 150k excess deaths annually, per actuaries.
