*And by D.C., I mean Alexandria, VA, because the publicly available D.C. data can’t really be easily understood (and don’t seem to be collected anymore?).

Like last week, this week, MOAR DECLINZ!

We’re still over twice as high as the mid-June 2023 nadir and a smidgen over a sixth of the January 2023 season peak. That probably means around 0.3% – 0.4% percent of people are currently infected (though that’s a very rough estimate because we’re not collecting the right prevalence data).

While the rest of the country might be surging, we’re declining in the D.C. area–though a critical caveat is these data are pre-Thanksgiving weekend. We’ll have to see what the next couple of weeks hold in store for us. But falling COVID prevalence is better than rising COVID prevalence!
