PMC COVlD Update (U.S.)
Nov 2, 2026
Transmission typically falls in October, but not this year. We're seeing the highest levels for this time of year relative to any prior year since pandemic onset. Let that sink in.
Presently, 47 states and territories have known outbreaks. The PMC model estimates that >1 million Americans are getting infected each day, meeting our criteria for characterizing transmission as a "surge." We estimate that 1 in 43 Americans are actively infectious, varing considerably be region.
Watch the video to learn why I am especially concerned. Find more data and our weekly report:

Also, we just added a new feature. You can enter a custom URL to zoom in on your region. For me, it is PMC19.com/70118
Just replace the numbers with your own zip code.

My internet is completely out, so I am tethered to my phone because updating our measles dashboard is that important.
52 new measles cases reported today.
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Utah reported cases.
Yes, Utah. Pop-up cases still happen in states where there have been community transmission.
You should not assume your state is safe before, during, or after a large-scale outbreak.
Wearing a respirator in shared air spaces will prevent you from contracting measles, as will having had 2 doses of a post-1970s MMR series. If you are high-risk, immunocompromised, or were vaccinated before 1980, you should ask your doctor to test your measles titers to ensure your levels are protective. Taking precautions today is better than getting infected tomorrow.

I wish more people understood that disability is universal. You will experience disability at some point in your life, whether from accident, illness, old age, or even temporary disability. Please advocate for accessibility because it literally benefits everyone.
