    From Mild Shock@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 5 19:41:02 2024
    Hi,

    Hallelujah, I waited 5 years, to only feel completely wasted:
    Amid this ever-more-infectious backdrop, the number of people
    who have never had COVID-19 — the “Novids” — is dwindling.

    “The proportion of ‘Novids’ is getting smaller and smaller,” Chin-
    Hong said. “I’ve heard so many stories in the last few weeks of
    people who didn’t get any [COVID illness] until this point, now

    in our fifth year” since COVID emerged. But merely entering a
    “stable or uncertain” status doesn’t necessarily mean COVID
    will start trending downward. Scientists will need more weeks of

    data to see whether the wave has peaked or is just in a temporary lull.
    In only two states did the CDC estimate that COVID-19 was likely
    declining: Hawaii and Nevada. Besides California, the states

    labeled as being on a stable or uncertain COVID trajectory
    were Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Maine and Pennsylvania.
    COVID-19 was estimated to be growing or likely growing in

    34 states, as well as the District of Columbia. No estimates
    were available for seven states.
