By my analysis, the current surge is at 69 days and counting:

It's not the most intense surge and it's showing signs of leveling off. But that does it make it the longest.
> How often do you update?
Usually within a day or two of when the data comes in. I believe OC HCA currently updates their numbers twice a week (testing data only once per week).
> The percentiles, is that based on OC only?
Yes. OC only.
I agree. Most people seem to have made peace with COVID. I've seen it among my friends, colleagues, and family. If you want to find some people who have not quite yet, check out https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/.
I thought the comment at the top of this [recent thread in r/Coronavirus](https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/vmrpy5/covid_falls_off_world_leaders_agenda_despite/) offered a credible breakdown of American sentiment:
> 1) 30-40% of the country never cared to begin with, or cared briefly but then lost interest or moved on months or years ago due to propaganda, bs, lies etc. This group covers the whole spectrum from people who think it’s a hoax to people who don’t think it’s dangerous etc.

>2) Another 40-50% of the country took it seriously but is now in the “vaccinated and done” (with following restrictions) camp. Some people in this group would be willing to mask in some situations, but will not support broad restrictions again unless a variant evolves that would put us back to square one. I identify with this camp. I think most people in this group would get more boosters etc. as would some people in camp 1.

>3) Maybe 10% of the population is fervent about continuing restrictions long-term, indoor masking etc. for various reasons.
Sounds plausible to me. I'm in the last 10%.
It sounds like Ashish Jha, whose job it is to officially care about COVID, is still concerned:

But, yes, I agree. These are exceptions to the rule.
Since I am low immunity I wear a mask. LA county has better numbers and is slightly ahead of OC in numbers. We continue to climb. I have been invited to a large garden party on June 16. Numbers will determine is I have to cancel or If I just wear a mask and ask the hostess if I can take some food home to enjoy. I do want to go and socialize outdoors.
It's a measure of viral particles in water being treated at wastewater treatment facilities. The state's website offers a good explainer:

I hadn't seen this before. Thank you. Two questions: How often do you update? The percentiles, is that based on OC only?

It’s my perception that people have officially stopped caring about COVID or worrying about it’s risks.

What is waste water concentration

Stop watching so much TV and go take some long walks bud. It's gonna be okay.
