I did not think I would write another post about COVID-19, yet here we are again. I have not heard much news about COVID after China imploded from the sudden end to their zero-COVID policy. However, it does look like there is a slight increase in cases in the US. Here is Orange County data for new cases:
From the top chart, the number of new cases seems flat when compared to the past spikes in cases. If you zoom in to the past twelve months, there is a rise in cases since the summer. Will that continue, flatten out, or even decrease? I heard there may be a new vaccine out in September. Is this rise due to the long wait since the last approved booster?
Additionally, it has become harder to find COVID data. I used to use occovid.com or the New York Times page. I believe occovid.com has been shut down, or at least I cannot connect to the site anymore. The previous NYT COVID page stopped updating in March 2023, and the new page needs a login.
