ALT CDC map
ALT A US map infographic titled "COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data & Standard Levels" dated August 24, 2026, from pmc19.com. The color-coded map visualizes relative transmission risk across states and territories. • Legend Categories: Standard CDC Relative Levels map to PMC Prevalence Estimates, ranging from "Very Low (<0.9%)" in blue, "Low (1.2%)" in green, "Moderate (2.0%)" in yellow, "High (2.9%)" in red, to "Very High (>3.5%)" in purple. • Visual Highlights: Heavy concentrations of purple (Very High) and red (High) cover large parts of the Southern, Western, and Northeastern United States. • Summary Text: States that the US has at least 23 states/territories with COVID outbreaks. It explicitly names California, Texas, Alaska, Hawai'i, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
ALT An infographic titled "National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)" dated August 24, 2026, from pmc19.com. The data is presented in a clean, high-contrast three-section table format against a white background: • Infections: States that 1 in 136 people (0.7%) are actively infectious. It estimates 361,000 new daily infections, 2.38 million weekly infections, 96 million infections in 2026, and a cumulative average of 5.37 infections per person. • Long COVID: Estimates 18,000 to 72,000 cases resulting from new daily infections, and 119,000 to 480,000 cases from new weekly infections. • Excess Deaths: Estimates 90 to 160 deaths resulting from new daily infections, and 600 to 1,000 deaths from new weekly infections.
ALT An infographic table titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" dated August 24, 2026, from pmc19.com. It lists data alphabetically for U.S. states and territories from Alabama to Mississippi, showing a comparison between historical "Standard" CDC transmission levels and a newly "Revised (Downshifted)" CDC coding scheme. Key data columns include: • PMC Estimate, % Actively Infectious: Lists specific ratios per state. For example, California is at 1 in 42 (2.4%) and Mississippi is at 1 in 23 (4.3%). • Statistical Probability Matrix: Shows the percentage chance that at least one person is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. For Mississippi, the risk ranges from 35% in a room of 10 up to 99% in a room of 100. • Explanatory Note: A detailed footnote criticizes the CDC's August 14 categorical descriptor revisions as an unexplained downward shift ("bluewashing") that typically drops risk classifications by exactly one category.
ALT An infographic table continuation titled "COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates" dated August 24, 2026, from pmc19.com. It lists data alphabetically for U.S. states and territories from Missouri to Wyoming. Key columns and data points include: • Model Comparison: Contrasts "Standard CDC Levels" against "Revised CDC Levels (Downshifted)", highlighting how risk categories are lowered. • PMC Estimate, % Actively Infectious: Lists specific transmission ratios. Notable high-prevalence areas include Texas at 1 in 20 (5.1%), U.S. Virgin Islands at 1 in 39 (2.6%), and Puerto Rico at 1 in 40 (2.5%). • Chances Anyone is Infectious: A matrix showing probability based on group size (10, 25, 50, 100 people). In Texas, the probability of encountering an infectious person ranges from 40% in a group of 10 up to over 99% in a group of 100. • Footnote: Critical text at the bottom repeats an explanation regarding the CDC's unannounced August 14 downshifting of categorical descriptors.
ALT Code: FLEX23
ALT The US has at least 23 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include much of California, Texas, Alaska, and Hawai’i, as well as the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Outbreaks are also present in Washington state, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and New Hampshire. There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 23 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. Levels in some Texas counties are so high – on par with the national peak of BA.1 Omicron – that it drives up estimates for counties in neighboring states that lack CDC wastewater monitoring systems. Looking closely at the map, notice other instances of Very High counties in one state driving up estimates of an adjacent county in a neighboring state that lacks data. This shows a clear value of the county-level map over the CDC state map.
