California’s COVID numbers are on the rise thanks, in part, to new subvariants, suggesting an earlier-than-normal start to the summer season.
The percentage of COVID tests coming back with positive results in the state rose to 5.3% for the week that ended June 3, up from 2.2% the month before.
The numbers are still relatively low — last summer’s peak positive test rate was 13.1% — but the increases have the attention of doctors and health officials as the summer travel season begins.
“Numbers are definitely going up,” said Dr. Elizabeth Hudson, regional chief of infectious disease at Kaiser Permanente Southern California. Among Kaiser’s 4.8 million Southern California members, the increase in COVID is mostly among non-hospitalized people.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported an average of 106 COVID cases for the week ending June 2. That’s up from 67 cases a day for the week that ended May 12.
“We have seen this happen over the last 4 1/2 years. We know we tend to see another wave around this time,” Hudson said. This one “started a little bit earlier, so it may crest a little earlier, and oftentimes we don’t see those hospitalized cases until a little further in.”
COVID levels also are rising in wastewater. In Los Angeles County, sewage levels were at 16% of the winter peak for the week that ended May 25, up from 8% for the week that ended May 4. In Santa Clara County — the Bay Area’s most populous county — COVID levels in wastewater are considered high from San Jose to Palo Alto. There also is a notable rise in samples in San Francisco’s sewage.

I have read several articles that suggest that Ivermectin can help long COVID, have you tried it?
I have not.
I got it in Jan ‘20. 11 days in the hospital but thankfully before the Protocols came out. Had Long Covid for about a year or two after that. Double-vaxxed for work after initial infection but the only thing I got from that was pericarditis -which I have 6 years left on.
Took Ivermectin (12mg tablets) starting in ‘21 which helped with the reoccurrences to where I had minimal sick days from work. For me it was mostly time that reduced symptoms during new bouts. It’s everywhere imo. Reducing exposure to crowds helps the most I think. IMO, the higher the density of it in the air the greater the chance it overwhelms the initial immune response to create an infection.
Best of luck. Get well soon ; )
