Cold weather favors the coronavirus. But as summer gives way to fall, infectious-disease experts are guardedly optimistic that the spread of covid-19 this autumn and winter won’t be as brutal as in the previous two years of the pandemic.
Coronavirus scenarios from multiple research teams, shared in recent weeks with federal officials, foresee stable or declining hospitalizations in early fall. The scenarios show the possibility of a late-fall surge. A new variant remains the biggest wild card. But several factors — including the approval this week of reformulated boosters and the buildup of immunity against the latest strain of the virus — could suppress some of the cold-season spread, experts say…
The scenarios assume that reformulated vaccine boosters will be embraced by the public at a rate similar to that of the annual flu shots — possibly an optimistic assumption given that more than half of Americans eligible for boosters have yet to receive their first dose.
Peter Marks, the top vaccine official at the Food and Drug Administration, said in a briefing Wednesday that the approval of reformulated boosters comes as the agency is “looking at a possible fall wave, with a peak around December 1st.”…
The emergence of a new variant in September could result in a wave of infections and severe illness in December, according to Lauren Ancel Meyers, director of the University of Texas Covid-19 Modeling Consortium. A variant emerging in October would push the peak to January, she said.
Any new variant that could change the pandemic’s trajectory would have to be more transmissible than the omicron subvariant BA.5 currently circulating. It might emerge from an obscure branch of the virus’s family tree — which is exactly what happened last November, when omicron, with its stunning package of mutations, appeared in southern Africa and immediately overtook the reigning delta strain.
Vaccines remain highly effective at lowering the infection fatality rate and keeping people out of the hospital, and the Biden administration continues to lean heavily on vaccination and boosting as the most powerful weapon against the virus. Anthony S. Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser for the pandemic, told The Washington Post that the fall campaign against the virus will demand widespread uptake of booster shots.
“We’re not going to eradicate it. We’re not going to eliminate it,” Fauci said. “But we do have the capability to get it to a low enough level so that it doesn’t continue to disrupt the social order.”
The federal government, meanwhile, is turning much of the fight against the virus over to the private sector. As of Friday, the government would no longer mail free coronavirus tests to the public. The plan is to transition the payment of treatments to insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, hospitals and patients themselves by the middle of next year. Updated boosters have already been purchased by the federal government and will remain free to consumers…
The CDC is reporting about 82,000 new covid cases daily, on average, although the true number of infections is assumed to be many times higher because so many people test themselves at home. The more reliable number is hospitalizations, currently about 30,000 patients, according to the CDC. Both numbers are trending downward, as is the death toll, which has been hovering around an average of 400 per day, according to the CDC. (The Washington Post’s coronavirus tracker, which relies on data from state health departments rather than the CDC, showed the seven-day average for deaths was 554 as of Saturday.)
Average daily deaths peaked above 3,300 in January 2021, as the virus spread in an overwhelmingly unvaccinated population, and topped 2,600 per day the following winter amid the omicron wave.
If no new coronavirus variant emerges, the numbers should stay stable or decline until the new year, the report from Lessler’s forecasting group states.
The most pessimistic scenario is that a new variant will appear and the booster campaign will get rolling late, resulting in a projected 1.3 million hospitalizations and 181,000 deaths over a nine-month period (August 2022 to May 2023), compared with 700,000 hospitalizations and 111,000 deaths in the most optimistic scenario, with no new variant and an early start to the booster campaign…
Infectious-disease experts don’t want to tempt fate with sunny forecasts. The coronavirus is still adapting to people as it mutates randomly, and natural selection favors the most immune-evasive strains.
“My forecast is that you can’t really forecast,” Fauci said. “It is such an unpredictable virus in the sense that we’ve been fooled before, and we likely will continue to be fooled.”

Indoor masking WORKS, in other words.
I know I’ll be keeping mine on for the foreseeable future. It makes me 50% more handsome, having half my face covered and what not. =)

Monroe County, NY:
100 new cases for 9/2/22
100 new cases for 9/3/22
87 new cases for 9/4/22
71 new cases for 9/5/22
Deaths now at 1995, up 4 from the previous week.
I’m still masking in public for the foreseeable future too. I haven’t had a cold in 3 years, much less COVID.

Malaysia’s Ministry of Health reported 1,486 new Covid-19 cases yesterday, for a cumulative reported total of 4,792,942 cases. It also reported four deaths for an adjusted cumulative total of 36,249 deaths – 0.76% of the cumulative reported total, 0.76% of resolved cases.
20,806 Covid-19 tests were conducted on 3rd September, with a positivity rate of 7.6%.
There were 27,546 active cases yesterday, 1,415 fewer than the day before. 1,297 were in hospital. 79 confirmed cases were in ICU; of these patients, 43 confirmed cases were on ventilators. Meanwhile, 2,897 more patients recovered, for a cumulative total of 4,729,147 patients recovered – 98.7% of the cumulative reported total.
1,484 new cases reported yesterday were local infections. Two new cases were imported.
The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) administered 2,286 doses of vaccine on 5th September: 324 first doses, 205 second doses, 530 first booster doses, and 1,227 second booster doses. The cumulative total is 72,286,604 doses administered: 28,094,057 first doses, 27,497,097 second doses, 16,221,117 first booster doses, and 474,333 second booster doses. 86.0% of the population have received their first dose, 84.2% their second dose, 49.7% their first booster dose, and 1.5% their second booster dose.

Whole family is scheduled for new boosters this week, just in time for back to school. Unfortunately the ease with which one can schedule an appointment these days suggests that people are either hesitating or just don’t care about having their vaccine up to date anymore.

Biobot has updated slightly since last week, showing a 45% decline in COVID, equivalent to just under 300,000 daily cases. The CDC variant proportions update as of last Friday shows BA.5 at 86%, and BA.4 and BA.4.6 at 6% each.
Statistics today are almost useless due to non-reporting over the Labor Day weekend, but the downtrend in cases continues. Today the average is 65,900 vs. 78,000 three days ago. The latter is about a 40% decline from the recent peak. Hospitalizations (not affected by these distortions) have declined 23% from peak to 36,000. Deaths are 443 today vs. 501 three days ago.
CA is doing extremely well, down about 2/3’s from peak. The worst States continue to be from the internal South.
Internationally, the most salient statistic is that in South Africa, where BA.1, 4, and 5 all originated, is at its lowest level for infections and deaths in 2 years.
That the US is doing so well *relative* to the first two years of the pandemic, despite the nearly wholesale abandonment of all mitigation measures by both government and the public at large, speaks to a population with greatly increased resistance to major infection due to past infections and vaccinations, as well as effective treatments. Those dying are greatly biased in the direction of unvaccinated seniors.
I think the experts Topol cites are correct that, absent the appearance of a major new variant, infections etc. will continue to decline until cold weather sets in.
Matt McIrvin
I have my doubts that the new boosters will have much effect on COVID impacts just because not many people will get them. We all will, but we’re unusual.

It amazes me that people approach total strangers and start hassling them about wearing a face mask. Don’t they have better things to do with their time, plus these days you never know who is carrying a firearm and might object to being hassled by a stranger. Just walk away, idiots.

@Matt McIrvin: We probably won’t get ours until October or November, since we got our second booster in July. I figure, string out the increased immunity as long as possible.

@Soprano2: School is back in session and will probably cause at least a modest infection wave; I see that as a reason to get them now. (And my last booster was in April.)
On the other hand, there usually seems to be a bigger one induced by Thanksgiving and Christmas travel.
Currently discussing this with my family.
Matt McIrvin
I am suspicious of the declining case rates in the Northeast because there have been very recent spikes up in the wastewater numbers coinciding with a rise in hospital admissions and deaths. I think people aren’t testing. Of course these charts are all very noisy.

China’s zero-Covid approach disrupts lives in whole cities at a time, is unnecessary, and has not worked. I wonder what it will take to bring about a change in their policy.
Ohio Mom
@Soprano2: That is a good question, what is the optimal timing for my next booster? I will add that to the list of questions for my next doctor’s appointment.
On another completely unscientific note, my cousin who had an extremely mild case after her first set of shots, and kept up with her boosters and wears a mask religiously (she’s a nurse in Montana), just had a knockdown bout of Covid.
My BIL and his wife also are recuperating from horrid cases of Covid, caught on vacation to the Outer Banks. It’s extremely discouraging to be reminded again and again that this is it for probably the rest of my life, feeling that getting Covid repeatedly is inevitable.

I was planning to get the new booster asap, but now I am reading that you should wait 3 months after having Covid. I had it late June/early July, so I will wait a month or so.

So, what’s the latest Omicron variant booster *called*? How do I search for it? I’ve been to Vaccines.gov and to Walgreen’s – and it’s not clear at all what to search for (search term at Walgreen’s for example) or which of the list of vaccines at Vaccines.gov represents this latest booster

@Soprano2: I’ve had three people decide they were going to get into it with me about my mask – two said something – and reconsider at a distance between 6-8 feet when they realize I’m 6’2″, 205, and carry a knife in a belt sheath
I think it’s the long hair that makes people make the bad decision in the first place.

Here in Foreign Speaking Nation (NL), under-60s *still* can’t get a 2nd booster, until the end of this month. The missus, who is, found out from the staff doctor at the centre that the new Omicron cocktail shots are coming this fall. I’ll take whatever I can get, so I’m properly dosed before going back to the Great Satan to visit fam this November.
Good news is cases are down to just under 8000/week the past two weeks.

Good review of PASC (post-acute sequelae of COVID). (Somewhat technical but an easy read.)
Lots of long COVID treatment leads, but few are proven – Lingering virus particles, microclots, and faulty immune signaling are likely culprits for many long-hauler symptoms. Anticoagulants, immune regulators, and antivirals show early promise (PNAS, Leah Shaffer, September 1, 2022)
Re China, the appearance of the continuation of dynamic COVID-zero policy is increasingly of a bet that reduced long COVID (PASC) burdens, including less cognitive dysfunction. will increase China’s competitive advantage vs most other countries and that this positive relative effect will overwhelm the social, political, and economic costs of the policy. May not work unless they have countrywide rollouts of at least one really effective vaccine planned for the near future.
Is this talked about much in the Chinese media?
Matt McIrvin
@The Moar You Know: Though a minority of people around here are still masking, I’ve never had anyone give me any shit about it. Just now at the polling place there was a lady who saw me and anxiously asked a poll worker if masks were required (they are not).

@Amir Khalid: Xi croaking.

@terraformer: Currently, my understanding is that anyone in the US who is offering COVID boosters is offering the new ones, because they are required to by FDA regulations. They’re using their stocks of the original vaccine for initial shots, which makes no sense to me but I guess it’s not going to waste.
smith
@Matt McIrvin: My understanding is that they are using original recipe vaccine for initial shots for previously unvaccinated people because the dosage for the initial course is higher than that for boosters. So far, the bivalent vaccine is only being made available in the booster dosage. I assume eventually there will be bivalent vaccine available in initial course dosages, but not yet. Given that positions have hardened on whether to get vaccinated or not, it probably makes sense to make the bivalent vaccine available at first to those who have already shown a willingness to be vaccinated.

So far, even in my sparsely-masked exurb, nobody’s hassled me about wearing a mask.
I think my line, if someone does, is to ask them where it hurts.
“Whaddaya mean, where does it hurt?”
“The pain my mask is causing you, where do you feel it? Must be pretty severe, right?”

My 70% Trump area in rural Oregon has a very vocal anti-mask, anti-vax crew. I have never been questioned about my mask or heard of anyone being hassled about their mask.

That last post in incredibly condescending and rude to people with mental health issues, and the fact that she was patting herself on the back for being so witty tells you a lot about her, and nothing about the actual issuer. (Nor does epop since it’s well known that people with significant disabilities will work themselves to death when their alternative is to end up homeless and, well, also dead.)
And it says something about you that you were willing to spotlight such a rude and dismissive view of anxiety, a very real and serious affliction.

I made appointments at Walgreen’s last Friday for wife and I for *this* Friday: earlier was available, but she always has a reaction and so better before a day off. The site made clear it was for the new covalent booster.
Then, second thoughts: we depart, yes, Friday, for a week in Florida (I know), which was why I was in a rush. But, since the vax won’t really be effective for two weeks, and wife does not want to be miserable on vacation, and we are also one month out from a mild case apiece, I decided to cancel and we’ll get it upon our return.

@Adam Lang: you know, I’ve read that tweet a couple times now, and am wondering, how have you managed to jump to the conclusion that the Twitterer must have been snarking? I read it as sincere.

My daughter is “fully vaxxed” with Moderna for the <4 group. The baby will get Moderna at his 6mo appointment in a few weeks.
And Mr. Mouse and I have booster appointments for Saturday at Costco.
