fellow usamericans please please please please check your state's COVID wastewaster levels.

as of Aug. 28 2024, here's how the regions look:

in the USA as a whole we are at an 8.68 and trending up

in the Northeast, we're at 6.92 and trending up

in the South, we're at 10.17

in the Midwest, we're at 6.78 and trending up

in the West, we're at 12.28

But these are just averages. It's vital to check YOUR SPECIFIC STATE/TERRITORY, as well as any ones you are planning on traveling too. D.C, for example, is at 15.68.

the reason people are still talking about COVID is not just because of vibes or trauma. we have actual numerical data showing that we are far from over with this disease. wear a mask, get another booster, and bookmark the CDC's website so you can check it weekly.
