US COVlD Update, PMC, July 27, 2026 ▪️10 hot spots (see Alt text) ▪️Persistent high/very high levels in TX ▪️FL, AK, HI, & the continental northwest picking up ▪️1 in 198 people estimated actively infectious nationally ▪️1.57 million estimated weekly infections & rising (1/2)

The US has 10 hot spots. There are major outbreaks across much of Texas (high/very high). Houston, denoted by the light blue county in the southeast (Harris) has 1-3-week reporting lags at most sites so may be worse than noted. Hardin county, two counties over to the east/northeast, continues to experience BA.1 Omicron-level transmission. The Texas surge is bleeding into estimates for western Louisiana. There are 9 other outbreaks: southeast Alaska (Juneau, high), Hawai’i (Honolulu and Kauai, high), north central Oregon through the Washington coast (high), western Nevada (Carson City, high), the Utah-Idaho border region (very high), southwestern Colorado (high/very high), southern Florida (high/v high), Atlantic City, New Jersey (high), and Grafton County, New Hampshire (high). The outbreaks in the Bay Area and Guam declined since last week. Note that the CDC state-level map shows no state median in the high/very high range, which is atypical. Higher levels tend to be more widespread.

got asked by bluesky to do an interview with the product team working on their communities feature i think they were looking for feedback on ui & functionality but what they got was an earful on how their arbitrary moderation policies have eroded the trust they'd need to make communities successful

Seeing AQI 500+ in parts of the Great Lakes region. Im glad people are suggesting N95, but you'e really going to need a P100 style respirator to filter the air outside in those conditions. IMO this would be a good year for municipalities to talk about stockpiling/disturbing them to their residents.

I read this book last week (as a new/casual soccer fan wanting to learn more about the sport and its history) and I truly cannot recommend it enough, a very beautiful and incandescently angry history of the 20th century by way of a history of soccer

Loving soccer and loving the World Cup never, ever, EVER has amounted to loving or even accepting FIFA corruption. On the contrary, it's the basis for HATING FIFA. Read Galeano's rapturous and wrathful Soccer in Sun and Shadow and join us. You're late to the war. bookshop.org/p/books/socc...

just about had a heart attack when PV Watts changed their URL from NREL to NLR, been using that tool for solar since 2012 and it's pretty essential for offgrid sizing especially. whew!
