2/6🧵

The central estimate of the forecast suggests we will surpass 500,000 new daily infections on Nov 22.

There's a 25% chance of a prolonged lull like last year. More likely, we are in wave territory by the end of the month.

We are presently in a lull between the 11th and 12th wave. Now is the time to get boosted and stock up on N95 masks, tests, and air purifier filters.

Do a DIY fit test if you've been putting it off.

4/6🧵

Can you believe that in a "lull" in transmission in 2025, wastewater-based case estimates suggest we're still getting nearly 2 million SARS-CoV-2 infections/week?

People are still getting #LongCOVID & still dying.

Even during a "lull," the risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 remains high in large gatherings.

🏫School day? 1 in 7 chance of an exposure.

🎉Large political celebration? Coin toss or worse. Test to reduce forward transmission.
