COVID-19 peaks and recedes on a very different schedule than other important respiratory viruses.

If you notice that COVID transmission is continuously ebbing and flowing, you’re not the only one! Experts noticed it too. Unlike any other respiratory virus, whether we’re talking about the flu or RSV, COVID rates seem to be oscillating constantly.

For now, it doesn’t appear like we’re settling into any seasonality with COVID. However, we’re not completely sure why. Plenty of respiratory viruses’ seasonality, and by that I mean their fairly reliable rise in transmission during fall and winter, is considered to be a product of various environmental factors. Some of those factors include temperature, humidity, and human behaviors like indoor gatherings.

However, COVID-19 oscillates faster, with cases rising and falling every couple of months. Peaks in weekly COVID-19 hospital admissions took place four months apart in 2021, six months apart in 2022, and this year, seven months apart.

One of the reasons for that might have something to do with the population’s immunity, which drives constant changes in COVID-19 transmission, even more than weather or any other human factors.

Every low will soon be followed by an uptick. That’s a period during which the population doesn’t get infected, and population immunity is waning.

It’s a simple equation: there are susceptible people, and there’s an infectious virus. It doesn’t really seem to these experts that human behavior, such as wearing or deciding not to wear masks or even social distancing, is completely responsible for the timing of these upticks. Nowadays, people aren’t really switching back and forth between taking the needed precautions and letting their guard down.

  1. I find it hard to understand those who choose to believe that the vaccine will do harm, and believe all the false theories posted by ignorant people.

    1. One thing you can’t believe is everything the so called experts say, about almost anything concerning peoples health, since when do the medical industry want people to be totally healthy(?) That means they would not make much money off of your health misfortunes, know that they been experimenting with Covid since 1931, concerning germ-warfare, and up until 2020, they finally got the right variant introduce to all of humanity, trying to so called reduce the human population, and they are still trying new options with the same virus RNA, because there are as many as 15,000 of them to experiment with. Also know that every people in the world don’t need to take the vaccine shot only certain people need to, they Stated this back in 2020, but decided to say everyone should take it knowing people will get sick and die from it. Please do your research.

    3. You find it hard to believe because you are still asleep. There is SIGNIFICANT evidence from highly reputable sources. Better not hit snooze again, the alarm is sounding.

  2. I have a serious question no one will answer, why is it that my backside being double masked doesn’t work while expelling gas, but a single mask on a person’s face works every time to keep the molecular viruses out…?

  3. Please give me a break you guys are bought and paided for comparison covid with Republicans and Democrat.. We want our country back!

  4. Please, don’t make Covid a political issue. Not Everything is a political issue. Really! Be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day and remember our Forefathers who made this day possible. God bless America! 🦃 🇺🇸

  5. This is my 3rd time that I have incurred illness from covid. Covid is here to stay. Please, everyone In regards to staying virus free proceed with caution and listen to the experts.

    1. So why are the experts saying that people who got the vaccines are dying at alarming rates and people who didn’t get the vaccines are doing just fine????? Fact 68% in America 🇺🇸 did NOT get these killing vaccines!!!

    1. They say it’s safe but they also said the vaccines were safe so they should not be trusted. It’s to much on your immune system so why take the chance. They only care about the $.

  6. It seems to me that with the locations given being border crossings and surrounding states that the cause being illegal immigrants holds a lot more water than trying to imply it’s politically based.
    Makes a thinking person wonder what has really happened to the USofA when everyone starts believing every political lie they are told. Remember for a moment that our own Supremes Court (pun intended) ruled that because it is in the nature of a politician to lie they cannot be held accountable for any campaign lies they tell the people… What’s to stop them from taking it a step farther and lying about the other party?? THINK people…USE your brains…DO NOT believe everything you are told just because it is YOUR party telling it….
