       COVID-19 levels run high in Bay Area wastewater, prompting calls
       for precautions
       , Bay Area
       Jul 25, 2026
       Public health officials and infectious disease experts are
       urging Bay Area residents to take added precautions against
       COVID-19 as wastewater testing shows high concentrations of the
       virus in parts of the region.
       Measurements at wastewater treatment plants in Santa Clara
       County and San Francisco have shown high concentrations of the
       virus over the past three weeks, while concentrations have
       reached medium levels on the Peninsula and in the North Bay.
       Wastewater testing serves as a proxy for the virus’s spread
       because it does not depend on people seeking tests or reporting
       their results.
       “High levels of COVID in the wastewater mean that each person is
       encouraged to take extra precautions to keep from getting sick
       and to help slow the spread of COVID, especially when so many
       people are traveling for summer,” a Santa Clara County Public
       Health Department spokesperson said in a statement.
       Officials recommended wearing masks in crowded indoor settings,
       staying current on vaccinations, testing for the virus and
       remaining home when sick.

       Jul 29, 2026
       COVID-19 infections are trending upward across much of the
       United States for the first time since spring, according to the
       Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's latest epidemic
       modeling.

       COMMENT:
       Yeah, these facts constitute a US covid outbreak.
       I have to say there is almost a reluctance in society to
       acknowledge and even use the word outbreak with covid. Yet we
       are in a covid outbreak "with COVID Growing in 37 States with
       None Declining".
       Covid remains extremely dangerous according to many studies.
       Long covid and the long term repercussions of covid wreak havoc
       and long term suffering amongst many.

       Jul 22, 2026
       Taiwan last week reported 4,766 new COVID-19 cases, five deaths
       and 25 patients with severe symptoms, reaching the benchmark of
       an epidemic, health officials said yesterday.
       The figure represented an increase of 66.5 percent over the
       previous week, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Epidemic
       Intelligence Center Director Guo Hung-wei

       August 10, 2026
       Levels are "Very High" in Fresno, per CDC wastewater data; we
       estimate 1 in 20 residents are actively infectious.
       Another 8 counties have CDC "High" levels including Alameda. In
       the High counties, about 1 in 35 residents are estimated
       actively infectious, with slight variation by county, e.g., 1 in
       38 in Alameda.

       Hospitals report 72 severe COVID-19 cases
       EASING: The growth rate of COVID-19 cases slowed from the
       74.8 percent increase in the previous week, indicating the
       current wave of infections is nearing its peak
       By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter
       Add TT as Preferred Source
       Seventy-two severe cases of COVID-19 and 14 deaths related
       to the disease were confirmed last week, the highest weekly
       numbers this year, as hospital visits for COVID-19 also
       increased by 27.6 percent from the previous week, the Centers
       for Disease Control (CDC) said yesterday.
       The centers also reported that influenza activity is
       gradually increasing, and might enter an epidemic period later
       this month

       Taiwan reports 14 COVID-19 deaths in 1 week as infections rise
       Anadolu Agency ASIA
       Published August 11,2026
       Taiwan recorded 14 COVID-19 deaths and 72 severe cases during
       the last seven days, the highest weekly toll during the current
       wave, local media reported on Tuesday, citing health
       authorities.
       Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Epidemic Intelligence
       Center Deputy Director Lee Chia-lin said that since October last
       year, Taiwan has recorded 337 domestic COVID-19 cases involving
       severe complications, including 42 deaths, according to the
       Focus Taiwan website.
       COVID-19-related outpatient and emergency-room visits also
       increased, reaching 24,645 between Aug. 2 and 8, up 27.6% from
       the previous week.

       EXTRA BONUS FACTS & FIGURES Did you know:Taiwan has a total area
       of about 13,974 square miles (35,980 square km). If it were a
       U.S. state, it would rank as the 42nd largest—making it slightly
       bigger than Maryland (12,400 sq mi), very close in size to West
       Virginia (24,230 sq mi total area is larger, but land-wise
       comparable), and roughly one-11th the size of California.

       PMC COVlD Update, Sep 21, 2026 (US)
       🔥13th COVlD wave
       🔥40 states/territories with outbreaks
       🔥3.8 million estimated weekly infections
       🔥Outbreaks in NYC
       🔥Extremely high levels on the Big Island of HI
       Map Details:
       The US has at least 40 states and territories with COVlD
       outbreaks. These include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
       California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
       Guam, Hawai'i, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,
       Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
       Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North
       Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico,
       South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
       Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
       Levels on the Big Island of Hawai’i are particularly high. Note
       also, the NYC area is seeing outbreaks.
       There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary
       statistic of 40 only includes counties with observed data,
       rather than estimated data. For example, Idaho, Louisiana,
       Maryland, and Tennessee likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is
       poor.
       Tables:
       PMC estimates 1 in 91 Americans are actively infectious with
       COVlD. In a room of 25 random people not testing/isolating, that
       would be a 1-in-4 chance of an exposure. Risk varies
       considerably by state/county. Find local estimates at
  HTML https://pmc19.com/map
       Graphs:
       The 13th wave has likely peaked nationally (Sep 9-12, or Sep
       3-25 if major retroactive corrections). Peaks vary locally. The
       wave looks similar to the Delta wave (Year 2). Cumulative levels
       for the current pandemic year (Year 7) also resemble that of
       Year 2.
       Final Figure:
       Use layered COVlD safety:
       ✅Boosters 💉
       ✅N95 respirators 😷
       ✅Virtual events
       ✅Air purifiers
       ✅Testing
       ✅Staying home when sick
       ✅Monitoring local levels
       These are evidence-based recommendations.

       COMMENT /& LONG COVID CAVEAT: that's "3.8 million cases per
       week" Not that rates will necessarily continue at this rate
       however they could depending on variants every season... and
       Theoretically, at a steady transmission rate of 3.8 million
       cases per week, it would take just under 2 years for a total
       number of cases to equal the entire population of the country
       (assuming re-infections).
       Imagine possibly a new variant every season, four times a year,
       thrown into the mix.
       Moreover there are also the long term repercussions namely what
       we term Long Covid .. keep in mind there are already many
       studies accumulating over just the last few years that have
       verified and confirmed that covid carries serious long term
       health repercussions and for as many problems we already have
       because of long covid we still don't know what catching covid
       once, multiple times and whether it be considered a mild case or
       long covid will do to us beyond 6 years from now.. We don't know
       what having caught covid will do to a person 10 and 20 years and
       the years beyond that down the road quite yet. As with many
       diseases that have proved to carry long term repercussions,
       there may be many dormant problems from covid that might give
       rise and show up with dire consequences and complications in
       later stages of life. We haven't crossed that time frame as of
       yet to know that.
