The wastewater picture is concerning.
This is the most number of "increasing utilities" since the first week of January.
MOST of the front range utilities except those in Colorado Springs are reporting increases.

The data from the wastewater median is BAD: the median has increased 24-fold since last week.
Yes, the 5-day median today (48,000 Covid Copies per liter) is 24 times HIGHER than it was last week (2,000).

The version above caps the y-axis to show the low numbers of recent months more clearly.

I also want to make clear that while I'm super annoyed that the median shot up over the last week, the levels remain low compared to most of the pandemic.
That said, if you've relaxed your protections recently due to low levels, it may be time to tighten up again given the rise

The variant data was released this week, updating for the full month of May. It's variant Soup again, after several months where JN.1 was dominant.
KP.3, one of the newest variants, was the most common variant sequenced (21%), closely followed by JN.1 (16%) and KP.2 (14%)

The Walgreens positivity Index drops slightly this week, though more tests were performed.
On to the H5N1 situation:
4 dairy herds with positive cattle have been affected (2 in Northeast Colorado, 2 unknown)
A domestic cat in Morgan County (NE Co) tested positive around the same time as the 2 additional herds were reported.

To sum it all up:
We have a new variant, and we are seeing a new rise in cases & hospitalizations.
Wastewater levels resemble those we saw in January 2024.
Please take care!
