US Weekly COVID update: Dec 29, 2025

🔸1 in 51 Actively Infectious
🔸958,000 New Daily Infections
🔸6,320,000 Infections In The Past Week
🔸239,000,000 Infections in 2025
🔸316,000 to 1,260,000 Weekly Long COVID Cases
🔸1,900 to 3,200 Weekly Deaths

A U.S. map titled “COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data and Levels (U.S.)”, dated December 29, 2025, produced by the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model. States are colour-coded by wastewater COVID-19 levels: Very High (dark maroon), High (red), Moderate (orange), Low (yellow), Very Low (pale yellow), with hatched areas indicating limited data. Large parts of the Midwest and Northeast show moderate to very high levels, while much of the West and Southeast appear low to very low. Text on the image states that the 12th COVID wave in the U.S. is peaking, with an estimated ~961,000 infections on December 27, noting uncertainty due to variable New York data. It estimates 22 states have moderate to very high transmission, highlights variability even in “very low” regions, and notes that high transmission often continues on the back end of waves. Data was last updated 12/20/25, with levels shown for Dec 29, 2025. A table titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.)” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated December 29, 2025. The table summarises estimated infections, long COVID outcomes, and excess deaths in the United States. Infections: Proportion actively infectious: 1 in 51 (2%) New daily infections: 958,000 Infections in the past week: 6,320,000 Infections in 2025: 239,000,000 Cumulative infections per person: 4.88 Long COVID: From new daily infections: 48,000 to 192,000 cases From new weekly infections: 316,000 to 1,260,000 cases Excess deaths: From new daily infections: 290 to 480 deaths From new weekly infections: 1,900 to 3,200 deaths A note at the bottom states that daily infections are expected to remain at similar levels over the next week, with weekly infections likely resulting in over 300,000 new chronic conditions and approximately 2,000–3,000 excess deaths. A table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated December 29, 2025 (pmc19.com/data). It lists U.S. states with estimated COVID-19 prevalence based on wastewater data. Columns include State, CDC Level, PMC estimate of actively infectious (e.g., 1 in X, %), and the chance that someone is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. Several states are highlighted with higher transmission: Indiana (Very High): 1 in 14 (6.9%); >99% chance in a room of 100 Arkansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota (High/High*): around 1 in 32–38 actively infectious, with ~93–96% chance in a room of 100 Lower-prevalence examples include: California, Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, DC with Very Low levels (roughly 1 in 280 to 1 in 855 infectious). A footnote notes limited data reporting for some states, and a statement at the bottom warns that actual levels are likely higher due to reporting lags. Data was last updated 12/20/25. A continuation table titled “COVID-19 State Prevalence Estimates” from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated December 29, 2025 (pmc19.com/data). It lists U.S. states from Missouri to Wyoming, showing estimated COVID-19 prevalence based on wastewater data. Columns include State, CDC Level, PMC estimate of actively infectious (1 in X, %), and the chance that at least one person is infectious in a room of 10, 25, 50, or 100 people. States with the highest estimated prevalence are highlighted: Nebraska (Very High): 1 in 18 (5.5%), with a >99% chance in a room of 100 Oklahoma (Very High): 1 in 25 (4.0%), 98% chance in a room of 100 Ohio (High): 1 in 28 (3.6%), 97% chance in a room of 100 South Dakota (High): 1 in 33 (3.0%), 95% chance in a room of 100 Lower-prevalence states include Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Virginia, and Wyoming, generally marked Very Low, with estimates ranging from about 1 in 137 to 1 in 229 infectious. Footnotes note limited or missing reporting for some states (e.g., North Dakota), caution that New York data quality is poor, and warn that actual levels are likely higher due to reporting lags. Data was last updated 12/20/25.

Abbildung 1. Mitochondriale Dynamik. Mitochondrien durchlaufen einen Zyklus aus Biogenese, Fusion, Fission und Mitophagie; das Gleichgewicht dieser Prozesse erhält die mitochondriale Integrität und Funktion. Wichtige Mediatoren – Fusion: MFN1/2 (Fusion der äußeren Membran, Netzwerkstabilität), OPA1 (Fusion der inneren Membran, Erhalt der Cristae); Fission: DRP1 (Teilung); Mitophagie: PINK1 (Schadenssensor), Parkin (E3-Ligase); Biogenese: PGC-1α (zentraler Koaktivator der mitochondrialen Biogenese). Veränderungen: Alterung: ↓ MFN1/2, ↓ OPA1, ↑ DRP1, ↓ PGC-1α. HIV: ↑ DRP1, ↓ MFN2, ↓ PGC-1α, beeinträchtigte PINK1/Parkin-Aktivität. Long COVID: ↓ MFN2, ↓ OPA1, ↓ PGC-1α, defektes PINK1/Parkin.
