We’ve now passed one month into the U.S. government shutdown — and one month without COVID-19 or other infectious disease data updates from the CDC. COVID-19 levels seem to still be in a lull between waves in much of the country, based on available sources, but the situation is very uncertain. And there are signs of flu and RSV spread picking up. National wastewater estimates from WastewaterSCAN and Biobot Analytics suggest that SARS-CoV-2 levels are at a moderate-disease-spread plateau as of mid-October. WWSCAN’s latest national averages are slightly below the lowest levels reported in both spring 2025 and early fall 2024, though still several times higher than the true lows from 2021 and 2022. Regional and state-level data from WWSCAN and Biobot, as well as state health departments, suggest that COVID-19 levels are moderate or low and relatively stable throughout much of the country. But there are a few spots where late-fall COVID-19 outbreaks might be starting, and we are approaching the season for flu and RSV. And here’s a bit of good data news, particularly for readers in New York State: New York’s wastewater dashboard is finally back to reporting data for all participating sewersheds. We had incomplete data for many months while scientists consolidated the program to run all through one state-run lab. Recent stories by Tim Henderson at Stateline (republished by The Sick Times) and Laura Weiss at Prism echo what I’ve been writing here for weeks: the CDC data blackout, along with other cuts to the CDC under Trump, makes it even harder for Americans to protect themselves during the ongoing pandemic. “There’s a concerted effort to disassemble the CDC,” Demetre Daskalakis, a CDC official who recently resigned, told Prism.

AI is failing the test when it comes to factual accuracy; the decline of news and journalism won't help. It serves the financial interest of AI companies—and the mission of the OpenAI nonprofit—to invest in reviving local news, says Rebuild Local News President Steven Waldman.

On X, an AI Community Note contributor (🙃) inaccurately claimed that No Kings footage from Boston was from a previous march.

Despite failing to reach consensus (to the system's credit), the screenshotted note was used to accuse MSNBC of lying. Senator Cruz also posted - then deleted - this claim.
