Greenpeace may be committed to "saving the whales," but they're happy to let poor children go blind and die. Their eyes tell their sad stories as ghostly white irises give way to vacant stares. We can look at them, but they can’t look back at us. They’ve gone blind because of malnutrition,” lamented V. Ravichandran, a farmer describing children suffering from vitamin A deficiency.

There have been more than 111 million cases of COVID-19 in the United States, which caused about 1.2 million deaths, a calamitous public health episode by any measure. In recent weeks, the numbers of COVID Emergency Department visits and hospitalizations have begun to rise, and wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2, a predictive indicator of a surge in COVID cases, are up sharply, especially throughout the Western U.S. (see figure below).

Over the past two months, the number of COVID Emergency Department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths are all down sharply, and so are wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2, a predictive indicator of a surge in COVID cases.  Does that mean the COVID-19 pandemic emergency is over? It’s hard to say.
