"The U.S. has exited the 12th wave of COVID-19. Transmission remains risky in absolute terms; however, levels are lower nationally than any time in the past year."
Only* about 2 million new cases of Covid in the past week in the US, between about 100,000 and 400,000 new Long covid cases from the past week's infections, about 500-900 new excess deaths.
*yes this is still a lot; sarcasm are us.
But relatively, it's a good time to get dental care, do those other risky things you need to do.
