#MaskUp Oregon!
PMC Update, June 8, 2026
The CDC reports COVlD levels are "Very Low" across the US. PMC estimates 1 in 300 Americans actively infectious.
BUT there's an outbreak in Central/East Texas. We estimate ≈1 in 30 residents in key counties are infectious.

What is happening with the COVID outbreak in Texas could happen anywhere next.
There is very little layered mitigation anywhere, so it's always just a matter of time.
I shut off non-follower comments on Bsky long ago because they are filled with so much hate when it's a "red" state getting hit.
Forecasted transmission is flat.
We may start to experience increases toward the end of the month, though with reporting lags, this may not be evident until July 3 or 10. Firm evidence of a wave may not emerge until July 17 or 24.

BREAKING: Canada launches a new National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Services.
It will be chaired by Dr. David Keegan, a leading advocate for masks in healthcare & on planes who filed human rights litigation on both fronts.

The PMC year-over-year graph shows levels are just below those of the summer of 2023 (green line).
Expect minor retroactive corrections. Biobot (20% model weight) has not reported in 3 weeks.

In addition to the Texas COVlD outbreak, notice the hot spot in East Kentucky is dissipating this week.
Guam, AL, MS, NC, and OR also have hot spots. Residents in the orange, red, and purple zones who have stopped masking would be wise to resume.

Looking at the national year-over-year estimates, the current year is noted with the red line.
We're not far off of the orange and green lines (years 6 and 4). Look ahead.
THREAD 3/3 🧵
Checking in on the special PMC within-year cumulative transmission graph, notice that transmission has been below average since late November.
2026 looks like 2020, when multi-layered mitigation was in place. BUT that can change quickly (Y2, Y5).

It’s Wastewater Wednesday! How are COVID levels? We’re using two sources to help us keep track of the country and our state of Oregon.
Thank you to @michael-hoerger.bsky.social for the map and graph, and OHA for continuing to track data coming from our wastewater treatment centers!
