This image is a COVID-19 Heat Map of the U.S., dated September 22, 2025, based on CDC wastewater data. Key Features Color Scale: Very High (dark purple) High (red) Moderate (orange) Low (yellow) Very Low (light yellow) Grey = No Data Diagonal stripes = Limited Coverage Map Findings: Most states are shaded dark purple or red, indicating High or Very High transmission. 29 states (30 when including North Dakota by imputation) and Washington, D.C. fall into this category. Transmission is shifting from the South and West toward other regions. Notes The underlying wastewater data are a week old, so some states may have already peaked. Around 60% of transmission happens after the peak, highlighting the need for continued precautions. California and several other western/southern states show especially high levels.

This image is a data sheet titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.) – September 22, 2025” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC). It provides key figures on infections, Long COVID, and excess deaths: Infections Proportion Actively Infectious: 1 in 57 people (1.8%) New Daily Infections: 857,000 Infections in the Past Week: 6.45 million Infections in 2025 (to date): 177 million Cumulative Infections per Person: 4.64 Long COVID From New Daily Infections: 43,000 to 171,000 cases From New Weekly Infections: 323,000 to 1.29 million cases Excess Deaths From New Daily Infections: 240 to 410 deaths From New Weekly Infections: 1,800 to 3,100 deaths Notes Daily infections have declined sharply from peak levels, similar to trends seen two years ago. Long-term health impacts and excess deaths remain significant. California is disproportionately affected due to its population size and scale of surges.

US Weekly COVID update: Sep 22, 2025

🔸1 in 57 Actively Infectious

Set in Washington State you say??? 👀🌲

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Measles 🧵

As of July 9th we’ve had 1,288 confirmed measles cases from 27 outbreaks across 38 states, the highest number of cases in one year since 1990 (when we had 27,808 cases).

Measles will continue to spread until >95% of vulnerable people in an outbreak are either infected or vaccinated

The image features the American flag in the background, with a prominent bald eagle, which is a national symbol of the United States, superimposed in the foreground. The text at the top reads "LAND OF THE FREE," and the text at the bottom reads "HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRISON POPULATION." This juxtaposition of imagery and text seems to convey a critical commentary on the notion of freedom in the United States, highlighting the paradox of having a large prison population.

It’s never too late to start masking again.

Covid isn’t over. Measles is spreading rapidly. We’ve got anti-vaxxers in charge if public health.

There’s a huge community of support here if you want to learn more about respirators.

You won’t be the lone masker, I promise!

Me: Happy pride!!

HACKS IS BACK TONIGHT LET’S GOOOOO

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
