They reduced wastewater reporting in 2024 too.
The 2025 COVID reporting is the worst (the least data shared) since 2020.

Don't get complacent, though. The viral load picked up again, peaking in most places 2 months later than previous years, in September. 2025.

One location is even reporting the highest viral load in wastewater since January 2021! I'm looking at you, Swords. /3

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?
