I wear a N95 respirator in all indoor spaces, and busy outdoor areas.
SARS-CoV-2 is airborne … i.e. floats in the air like invisible smoke … you breathe it in without knowing you are 😷😷😷
To my knowledge, I have not had Covid-19

US Weekly COVID update: Nov 24, 2025

🔸1 in 116 Actively Infectious
🔸422,000 New Daily Infections
🔸2,650,000 Infections In The Past Week
🔸224,000,000 Infections in 2025
🔸133,000 to 530,000 Weekly Long COVID Cases
🔸700 to 1,200 Weekly Deaths

Source: pmc19.com/data/
A U.S. map titled “COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data and Levels (U.S.) – Nov 24, 2025.” Each state is shaded according to wastewater transmission levels: dark brown for very high, orange for high, gold for moderate, pale yellow for low, cream for very low, and hatched grey for limited data. Most of the country appears in pale yellow or cream, indicating low or very low levels. A few states show moderate levels (in gold) and only one state (Illinois/Michigan region depending on border depiction) shows a brighter orange moderate/high patch. Several southern states display diagonal hatching indicating limited data. A note explains that CDC’s newer classification system makes levels appear lower, and that some “very low” states still have sites with “very high” viral readings. Text also states that 60% of states were increasing as of November 15, suggesting early wave onset, and that Michigan’s levels may be higher based on WastewaterSCAN. A data table titled “National COVID-19 Estimates (U.S.) – Nov 24, 2025.” It presents national estimates from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC). Infections section: Proportion Actively Infectious: 1 in 116 (0.9%) New Daily Infections: 422,000 Infections the Past Week: 2,650,000 Infections in 2025: 224,000,000 Cumulative Infections per Person: 4.86 Long COVID section: From New Daily Infections: 21,000 to 84,000 new long COVID cases per day From New Weekly Infections: 133,000 to 530,000 per week Excess Deaths section: From New Daily Infections: 120 to 200 excess deaths per day From New Weekly Infections: 700 to 1,200 per week A note at the bottom says: New daily infections are estimated at 422,000 for November 24. Transmission is flat based on incoming data, which are lagged, and forecasting suggests current levels are likely increasing.

Researchers have found the virus’s spike protein can switch between solid and liquid-like states, making it harder for vaccine-generated antibodies to block the virus. They say this phase change may weaken vaccines and help the virus evolve into new variants.

www.deccanchronicle.com/southern-sta...
A screenshot of a Deccan Chronicle news article titled “AU Researchers Discover New Coronavirus That Evades Vaccines.” The byline shows it was written by Laxmi Pranathi and published on 24 November 2025 at 1:27 AM under the Andhra Pradesh section. A short subheading reads: “Researchers discover spike protein can shift states and hide from antibodies.” Below the header is a large photo of Andhra University’s main entrance. The entrance features a large archway with “ANDHRA UNIVERSITY” written at the top in English and Telugu. The structure is black and beige with decorative pillars, greenery visible behind it, and the university emblem at the center of the gate. A caption below the image says the study shows the virus may change form to dodge vaccines.

Here's the latest variant picture for the United States, to early November.

The XFG.* "Stratus" variant continued it’s dominance, up slightly to 82% frequency.

NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" was roughly flat at 8%.

WA weekly COVID update: Week ending 16 Nov 2025

🔸COVID positivity rate: 2.1% est. (-0.1%)

🔹PCR cases: 97 (-9.3%)
🔹Hospitalisation: Average of 17 cases per day (Stable)
🔹ICU: 7-day average was 0 (+0.0%)

Source: health.wa.gov.au/Articles/F_I...
Text above the chart reads: “In the past week, the number of COVID-19 notifications to the Department of Health marginally decreased to 97 notifications (Figure 9).” Below is a line-and-bar chart titled “Figure 9. COVID-19 notifications and test positivity by notification week, WA, 2023 to 2025 YTD.” Blue bars represent weekly PCR-confirmed COVID-19 cases, and a black line shows test positivity (%). The x-axis spans May 2023 to November 2025. Cases rise sharply into late 2023 and peak in early 2024, then decline through mid-2024 before increasing again in early 2025 and falling to around 97 cases in November 2025. Test positivity mirrors this pattern, peaking above 18% in late 2023 and early 2024 before dropping to around 2–4% in late 2025. Text above the chart reads: “In the past week, currently hospitalised COVID-19 cases remained stable at 17 per day. The 7-day average for cases currently in intensive care units was zero (Figure 10).” Below is a bar chart titled “Figure 10. 7-day average of COVID-19 cases currently in hospital or in ICU, WA, 2023 to 2025 YTD.” Two colours are used: blue bars for Hospitalised cases and small orange segments at the top of some bars for Intensive care unit cases. The x-axis shows week-ending dates from early May 2023 to November 2025. The y-axis shows the 7-day average of hospitalised cases, ranging from 0 to 300. The chart shows repeated waves of hospitalisations: large peaks in mid-2023, early 2024, late 2024, and early-to-mid 2025, followed by a decline toward late 2025, with hospitalisations around 17 per day in the most recent week. ICU averages remain very low throughout, with the most recent week at zero. Text above the chart reads: “The SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater from the Perth metropolitan area decreased in the past week (Figure 11).” The chart is titled “Figure 11. SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater and COVID-19 notification rate, Perth metropolitan area, WA, 2023 to 14 Nov 2025.” It shows two data series: A blue line (14-day weighted average) representing wastewater SARS-CoV-2 genome copies per 500 mL, ranging from 0 to 30,000 on the left axis. A yellow line (14-day average) showing COVID-19 notification rate per 100,000 population, ranging from 0 to 100 on the right axis. The x-axis shows week-ending dates from early January 2023 to mid-November 2025. The blue wastewater line shows large peaks in late 2023 and early 2024, followed by smaller waves through 2024–2025, with values declining sharply into November 2025. The yellow notification rate line remains low throughout, with small bumps corresponding to wastewater increases. A note below explains that wastewater data comes from three Perth treatment plants and that missing results or testing method changes may affect values (including a notable increase in quantification after December 2024). Text above the graphic reads: “Genomic sequencing indicated SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineage BA.3.2.X predominated in the clinical samples in the past week. Wastewater genomic sequencing results were not reported for the current period due to low SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in wastewater samples (Figure 12).” The figure is titled “Figure 12. Distribution of SARS-CoV-2 variants in clinical samples (top) and metropolitan wastewater catchments (bottom), 03 July 2022 to 16 November 2025.” The graphic contains two horizontal stacked bar charts: Top chart – Clinical samples Displays variant proportions over time from mid-2022 to November 2025. Early sections show a mix of BA.2, BA.5, XBF, and other Omicron lineages. Through 2023–2024, recombinant and emerging variants appear in shifting colours. By late 2025, BA.3.2.X dominates most of the bar, shown as the largest block of colour. Bottom chart – Wastewater samples Shows variant proportions detected in wastewater catchments across the same period. Displays similar variant waves as clinical data but with more gaps and variability. The most recent weeks show large grey sections indicating no reported wastewater sequencing results due to low viral concentrations. A note below explains that “X” denotes descendant lineages, that clinical data may be skewed by low sample numbers, and that wastewater distribution reflects broader community trends when sequencing is available.
