Dr. Ned Calonge, chief medical officer for the CO Dept of Public Health, issued a “standing order” allowing anyone to receive the updated COVID-19 vaccines. The FDA approved updated vaccines, but the ACIP hasn’t taken action and won't meet until mid-Sept. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/03/c...

CDPHE was able to publish wastewater data today, and the trends from recent weeks continue: 17 Utilities showing increasing amounts of COVID virus in the wastewater. The median remains elevated above recent levels, though is bouncing around slightly. The average climbs further

COVID in Colorado update, 8/20/25 *partial update Hospital admissions shoot up. Positivity continues to climb. COVID Wastewater data is delayed, I'll update when WW is available. The surge indicated in WW trends is now being seen in hospitalizations. /1

Colorado, there are 3 more measles cases today, 2 in Adams county, household contacts of a previous case. 1 in an unvaccinated adult in Grand junction who had not travelled. Furthermore, there’s a STRONG measles signal in the wastewater in Grand Junction, indicating community spread

Colorado, Idaho report new measles cases in unvaccinated kids A new case raises Colorado's 2025 total to 17. www.cidrap.umn.edu/m...

May i ask my followers a favor? If you like these wastewater updates, can reply with a quick note as to why? Is it the convenience of having it in your feed? The way the data is presented? The analysis? Thank you in advance for your help with this project!!!❤️

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 6/18/25 Hospital admissions for all viruses remain low. COVID Wastewater trends tick up majorly, though the median remains relatively low. Flu & RSV remain minimal. Our first Measles case exposed in Colorado is reported.

So important to leave a comment ⬇️ and ensure EVERYONE who can/wants a COVID vaccine come fall can get one. We are still in a pandemic and ensuring vax access and availability is *critical* for public health (especially with the new crankpots on ACIP).

Visual Timeline of Colorado Measles Outbreak, updated with Case 9 & some minor issues corrected. Case 9 was directly infected by the first case at Denver International Airport. The case was reported on about the last day we would expect to hear of new "secondary cases".

Two more measles cases reported yesterday in colorado. One is associated with the Turkish Air Flight 201 outbreak, the adult is unvaccinated. There other is a partially vaccinated child who just returned from Ontario where there is a large outbreak. cdphe.colorado.gov/press-releas...

Happy Pride, Colorado!

A visual timeline of the #measles outbreak in Colorado. We are just beyond the period we would expect cases directly exposed by the index case to show new symptoms. We have just begun the period where locally transmitted cases may show symptoms and be reported. 💉😷🤞 (sorry for the tiny font!)

Colorado COVID Wastewater update, 6/6 Wastewater concentrations for COVID remain low, but there is an uptick, especially in tourism locations. Covid trends hold relatively steady. The COVID median ticks slightly up to low 7.8k. Flu A,B, RSV, & EV-68 detection are very low.

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 6/4/25 Hospital admissions remain low, the recent uptick in COVID admissions hasnt continued. COVID Wastewater trends hold steady at low levels, wastewater detection of Flu & RSV is minimal. The big story in Respiratory Viruses? *MEASLES*

Today, @dansavage.bsky.social tells us he caught the new COVID variant while traveling & is super sick. He also says: The masked? We are right to be wearing masks in airports, planes, trains & buses. The new variant is unpleasant. Please do your part to avoid it. 😷 Feel better soon Dan!

CDPHE reports an 11th measles cases in the state, also associated with the mid may exposure at Denver International Airport.

Colorado folks, Measles cases in the state climbed to 10 over the weekend, with three new cases added, all linked to the outbreak associated with the flight from Turkey in early May. cdphe.colorado.gov/press-releas...

If you’ve never been woken up at 3am to consult on the least bad treatment option for a pregnant COVID patient in the MICU, your “recommendation” means nothing to me

The terrible driving is back. In the past 7 days, I’ve seen: 1) A driver throw it into reverse in the middle of 3 lanes on a divided highway because they missed their turn. 2) A driver doing a 3 point U-turn on a divided highway thats FOUR LANES WIDE. THIS is what the COVID Wastewater is doing:

Death rates in pregnancy DOUBLED during 2020-2021, and there are mountains of evidence showing COVID infection leads to significantly worse outcomes for pregnancy & baby. There are also mountains of evidence showing COVID vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 5/14/25 Hospital admissions for all Respiratory Viruses remain very low, though there is a slight uptick in Flu, attributable to Flu B. Wastewater trends remain primarily "steady decrease" for COVID, at relatively low levels.

Colorado COVID Wastewater update, 5/9 Wastewater concentrations for COVID remain low. Covid trends stay at 2 utilities increasing, and the COVID median at 10k (up slightly from 9k last week). Flu A & RSV detection remain low, Flu B remain slightly elevated.

ICYMI: As kids keep getting sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune dysregulation and damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, and more, while masks, clean air & COVID go unmentioned. www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

COVID, Flu & RSV in Colorado update, 5/7/25 Hospital admissions for all Respiratory Viruses continue to slide away. Wastewater trends remain mostly "steady decrease" for COVID, though the trends continue to show slight trend toward "rising".

Also - please be aware: this enormous resource is out there available for anyone to use. public.tableau.com/views/Colora... The visualizations are interactive, so you can glean a LOT of information by clicking within the viz and around to various tabs that I don't always highlight here.

Correction! This is from 5/2/25

How bad is this flu year? (See the purple line) We’ve had 1300 more hospitalizations than by this point last year: 5224 vs ~3902 Last year (blue) was the 2nd worst flu year in Colorado history. And we've had *34% more hospital admissions for flu* than last year … (On top of all the COVID)
