she puts each note exactly where she wants it. she knows exactly where to place each note in her body. whew.

Yes, the overall pattern of the country can definitely be contradicted by more local data.

Thanks Mike!

A significant lull is in alignment with my long-term forecast, though I've expected a surge of some kind to be building right now through May and June. November/December is my next window of concern.

Definitely will be looking forward to your insights!

It's not impossible. @michael-hoerger.bsky.social has published reliable forecasts based on wastewater data for years now.

But I definitely understand that folks have to calculate their risk tolerance. I still mask indoors 90-95% of the time and avoid crowded indoor spaces when possible..

It's so dry in New Orleans. I'm not necessarily complaining but we need rain.

a breakthrough in treatment/prevention which will be important come 2031 & 2032 when covid could return w/ vengeance.

If a sterilizing vaccine comes out before then DO NOT DELAY getting it.

2026 has long been the year I looked forward to as some sort of light in the tunnel RE covid.

2027-30 will continue this trend of decreases in circulating covid. Will it go away entirely? No. But I don't anticipate seeing surges of transmission like we have over the past 6 years.

2028 could bring

But... the full moon in sidereal Scorpio May 31 is an important climax in this particular battle. Folks will be choosing sides and making their loyalties very clear. And those who don't make a clear and definitive statement will have their stance assumed.

Just a heads up...

Venus goes into sidereal Taurus April 19. The state is going to push back hard. If you didn't know that we're in a class war you're about to find out. These warehouse fires etc... yeah the police state is about to go super fascist.

PMC COVlD Update, Apr 13, 2026

Levels are flat during a relative "lull" in transmission.
▪️1 in 187 estimated actively infectious
▪️260,000 estimated new daily infections
▪️High: OK, MS, WV
▪️Moderate: VT
▪️All other states low/very low in relative transmission

this shit was insane. so completely out of touch with their own survival instinct

tasted exactly how my mouth was set for it to taste.

I'm making french toast instead

I want Thai but the place I like it's across town 🥲

Here is Los Angeles' budget proposal from last year.

I cried the first time I heard this. Bought it from the north side Dr. Wax location in Chicago.

I’m allergic to dairy.

I'm hungry for something but I'm not sure what.

One of the best books I've ever read. Shout out to @masonfromtwitter.bsky.social for the recommendation

April 10th Update:

Both NWSS and WWScan data sets suggest the lowest transmission levels in more than 4 years. BA.3.2 (Cicada) modestly impacting primarily the under 18 group.

Estimates:
🔸118,000 new infections/day
🔸~1 in 550 currently reasonably infectious (5 day window)

Here's the new official CDC map for Texas. Readily interpretable. Now that they're not just using shades of blue, it is easy to see that Houston is "Very Low," and most other places are not.

Look at all those "Very High" sites. Again, this will save lives.

CDC COVlD map in new color scheme

After 2+ years of requesting the CDC to stop using their misleading "all shades of blue" COVlD map, they have switched to using an ethical and sensible color scheme.

This is a tremendous public health good that will save lives.
