Monroe County, NY:
83 new cases reported on 9/13/22
The NYSDOH has stopped updating at all since the 13th. I don’t know whether they’ve finally thrown in the towel, or if the person usually responsible for the updates is on vacation with no coverage this week.
Kristine: I was only out of commission for about 24 hours, then it was back to normal.

Wife got her 3rd booster yesterday, a Pfizer Bivalent shot, at the Health Dept downtown. I got mine the day before, while running errands and she remained at home, safe. Wearing masks most all the time when not in the car or at home.
Today I leave soon for a CT scan, will take several hours as an oral dose and and IV dye are on tap. Wish me luck.
New Deal democrat
Biobot has updated, showing a renewed decline on a nationwide basis, but still about 15% higher than its low of three weeks ago, which is equivalent to about 325,000 new cases daily. Regionally the West declined to a 4 month low, the Midwest and South were relatively steady, but the Northeast increased to a new 7 month high – even higher than its worst levels during the BA.2.12.1 wave. This seems consistent with the idea that the recent upturn was caused by the return to schools.
Confirmed cases are down almost 50% from their June peak at 69,000. Hospitalizations have declined about 33% from their June peak to 31,000. Deaths are roughly steady at 440, which is about 15% below their recent peak.
There is continued *relatively* good news on the excess mortality front. For the last 6 months, excess deaths have averaged about 2,000 per week, the lowest level since the pandemic began. This suggests that about 1/3rd of COVID deaths have been among those who would have died from other causes in any event.
The CDC should update its variant data later this morning.

@J R in WV: Good luck! Getting my new booster tomorrow, has anyone seen how long it takes to be effective? I think the other shots were two weeks.
NeenerNeener
@J R in WV: Good luck! I have to have one next Thursday, not looking forward to it. I’ve lost 30 lbs over the last year without even trying. It may be the combination of blood pressure meds and thyroid meds got my metabolism out of whack, but the CT scan is to make sure there isn’t something else going on as well.
eclare: I think it’s 2 weeks.

Made our appointment for end of the month, the rest were already filled, but we’re only three months out from the last one, so we can wait. And I’m glad to see renewed interest, the last few boosters were skimpily booked, even for in a rural mountain area.
There’s only two chains in the whole region at this point. And one which begins with W I am now sworn enemies of for its outstanding incompetence in customer service. :)

Randomly got the mega-booster shot this week. Was on my phone making an appointment for Saturday when I found out that it was available right outside of my building at a Preparedness Fair.
So, now, trying to get appointments for the rest of my family

I can’t help but wonder if there aren’t going to be bad after effects from all those “ghost busters” in China spraying antibiotics willy-nilly. They are no doubt killing a lot of good bacteria that are keeping bad ones in check. Oh well, it’s China, I don’t think they are going to be especially forthcoming whatever the result is.
I am also assuming Biden has very quietly fished the pandemic handbook Obama put together out of the proverbial trash can Trump threw it in. Or maybe I should say toilet.
Scout211
Our bivalent booster appointments are booked for next week. This week was full of procedures: Monday I had a colonoscopy and in a few hours I will have surgery on my right hand. I noticed that the surgery centers have not reduced their COVID safety measures one little bit. It’s as if it was still 2020.
I approve. 😊
Hildebrand
Got my bivalent Moderna shot yesterday. My side effects are exactly what they were each other time – chills whilst trying to sleep, general aches this morning. I’ve got atrial fib, so I get the added bonus of a slightly elevated heart rate. My arm isn’t nearly as sore as the other times.
If all goes according to custom, I should be back at about 90-95% tomorrow, and 100% by Sunday.
Lapassionara
I got my fourth booster in April. What is the recommended time between boosters?
eclare
@Lapassionara: I believe it is two months. I got my fourth booster in April also, had to enter the date on the website, and I get my new booster tomorrow.

@Lapassionara: Four months, I think. I also got a shot in April and was eligible for the current one.

@Lapassionara: Two months IIUC. I had my last booster on 23 July so I’m eligible next Friday, or so I was told by the pharmacist yesterday.

@Scout211:
Yup. All medical places around here are still masking and screening. Vet is still doing curbside unless you ask and they have an exam room available–one person only and vet talks to you from out in the hallway. Until they back off their measures, I am likely sticking with masking. Looks like maybe 1/4 of us are, depending on location.

Thanks for the roundup AL and the reports, everyone.
Haven’t clicked the links, but beating up on the WHO is misdirection. Like the UN, the WHO is a creature of its member states. Every organization can always do better and “audit” to understand the mistakes and work to fix them is vital, of course.
When I find the time, I want to read up on how the early US CDC (or whatever group it was) Covid tests were contaminated and wrong while the WHO tests were correct. How could that ever happen? I understand why the US should use its own tests (so that the rest of the world can use the others), but we apparently lost vital weeks flying blind early in the pandemic… Fixing that, and knowing that it’s fixed, is essential.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Scott.

@New Deal democrat: The Boston area had a bump up in wastewater counts but it looks like it might have peaked (lots of noise makes it hard to tell). It’s curious to me that I haven’t seen this manifested in case counts, but it might just be undertesting.
I just noticed that the state is now publishing the mRNA counts from my town’s sewage plant. The bump up didn’t happen there but our counts were a bit higher to begin with.
Matt McIrvin
@Kristine: All I got from the combo (Pfizer for the COVID booster) was a mild headache the next morning that might have largely been from staying up too late, and sore shoulders for about a day and a half.
Matt McIrvin
DeSantis is using weaselly language on the basis that the first rounds of vaccination were extremely effective even at stopping transmission of wild-type COVID and Alpha, which led to very cheery revisions of CDC recommendations in the spring of 2021, but are not so great at doing that with the variants that are actually circulating today. He can twist that to mean “the experts were wrong, vaccination isn’t that great” instead of acknowledging that the situation materially changed.
I personally thought those CDC revisions were a bad idea at the time, but of course DeSantis thought there shouldn’t be any interventions going on at all, so he’s hardly one to talk.
New Deal democrat
The weekly CDC variant update is out, and we have our first significant news in the past 3 months.
Last week there appeared to be an anomalous increase in the original BA.2 variant. When we last saw something like that, it turned out that it was really new variants BA.4&5.
The same thing appears to have happened now, as BA.4 has all but disappeared, and BA.5 is down to 85% of cases. The remainder are BA.4.6 (10%) and new variants BA.2.75 (1.3%) and BF.7 (1.7%).
We saw BA.2.75 in India several months ago. I have not been able to find any material on the origins of BF.7, but I did find the below article on their progress in other countries compared with BA.4.6 in particular:
https://deadline.com/2022/08/new-covid-variant-ba-4-6-u-s-midwest-1235103594/
“GISAID data shows that in many other countries where BA.4.6 has made significant inroads, it quickly faded in the face of another heavily-mutated new Omicron variant, dubbed BA.2.75. It was first sequenced in May in India, where it has spread rapidly.
“In countries like Spain, Germany, the U.K., Ireland and Italy where BA.4.6 initially made way against near-uniform dominance by BA.5, BA.2.75 has beat back both of those predecessors and become dominant.
The article quotes biology Professor Tom Wenseleers of the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, who stated: “Omicron BA.4.6 was short-lived: virtually everywhere it will be outcompeted by the fitter BA.2.75 & BF.7 / BA.5.2.1.7 that emerged in the meantime.”
Looks like we have the candidates for our autumn and winter wave.

@Lapassionara:
Had mine in April and got the mega-booster this week.
RaflW
@New Deal democrat: I was just looking at Minneapolis – St Paul wastewater data and noted that 88% was BA5 and 4% was BA4. The graph made it difficult to see what the remaining 8% was, but the trendline for BA5 was definitely past-peak at least, and I thought ‘uh-oh.’
Your comment dovetails my worry, unfortunately.

When has @baseballcrank ever been right about anything not having to do with baseball?
(For all I know, he’s just as bad with baseball, but I don’t follow the sport enough anymore to judge.)
Matt McIrvin
@New Deal democrat: Sounds like they’re still Omicron variants though, which means that the new bivalent vaccine will be about as tailored to them as we have any right to expect.
(And these variant mismatches make less difference than one might think; even against BA.4/BA.5, the current vaccine is only a little more effective than the wild-type COVID shot, because the main thing is that they just reproduce faster.)
Meanwhile I see the Massachusetts case counts have updated and the tick up in wastewater RNA that has been around for about a week finally seems to be reflected there. But that doesn’t look like a runaway increase, more like a blip up.

@Kristine:
The first two Pfizer shots in 2021 both gave me a fever about 24 hours post-shot. I did not react much to either Pfizer booster. The new Moderna bivalent (higher dosage?) booster knocked me out for a day. Got the shot Saturday Aug 10 2022, AM, very tired and sore but no fever Aug 11, OK Aug 12.
J R in WV
Home now, well mechanic gone, water somewhat back, some pipes are clogged with sediment which happens when pressure drops to zero and comes back, stuff on the pipe walls falls off. But having cold water running in the house is a good thing.
We got our first two vaccinations in Feb and March with Moderna, and boosters on schedule also with Moderna. But this week the health dept only had Pfizer bivalent, so that’s what we got. The Moderna vaccine doses set me back, many hours of sleep… Wife not so much. The Moderna boosters were less bother, this Pfizer booster was nothing at all, maybe stiff and tired the next day, but that’s life right now.
CT scan, the dye was idodine based, they told me to drink a lot of water to flush the dye through, so I did. Symptoms of a UTI worsened this afternoon, Won’t describe them, you all know them. But the actual CDT Scan was painless and didn’t take very long. The machine told me to take a breath and hold it, moved me through the sensor ring, said “Now Breathe” and I did. Stayed as still as I could while it moved me through the sensor coil.
Of course I won’t hear anything until I see the specialist towards the end of the month. $!00 copay, used my credit card. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Ate bean nachos for lunch…
Another Scott
@J R in WV: Thanks for the report. Feel better and good luck with the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery!
I got my Pfizer bivalent booster today (#4 was in May) – about 4 hours ago. No obvious effects so far (#4 made me tired and maybe raised my temperature for a few hours).
Cheers,
Scott.
