According to the CDC, COVID-19 cases are rising in 25 states, particularly in the South, Southeast, and along the West Coast. The increase is reflected in higher emergency room visits, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, reaching the highest levels seen since early spring. CDC data suggests COVID-19 now tends to peak twice a year, in summer and winter, likely due to ongoing variants of the virus. Most recently, CDC scientists have highlighted that the virus continues to adapt, and as a result, biannual surges are expected to persist. In light of this, health experts recommend listeners in affected states stay current on COVID-19 guidance, be attentive to local advisories, and consider wearing masks in crowded or high-risk areas.
The CDC is also alerting the public about an unusual seasonal rise in parvovirus B19, a virus mostly causing mild, flu-like illness but posing increased risks for pregnant women. Chicago health officials report emergency departments are experiencing the highest rates of B19-associated visits in a decade, largely due to this current surge. Pregnant individuals are urged to take extra precautions and avoid high-risk environments where possible.
National weather services are warning of dangerous heat in several regions. The Washington State Department of Health, for example, has issued statewide advisories for dangerously high temperatures, with highs near 100 degrees expected in some areas. Similar alerts span across southern New England, where the National Weather Service projects heat index values between 95 and 100 degrees from Tuesday through Thursday. Health officials urge listeners to drink water frequently, avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours, check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors, and use cooling centers if home environments become unsafe. Never leave children or pets in vehicles as internal temperatures can rise rapidly to life-threatening levels.
Recent food safety alerts may also affect listeners. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for Prep Chef brand pulled pork products due to undeclared soy, which could pose significant risks for those with soy allergies. Additionally, Hartford Bakery, Inc. is recalling Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf bread due to undeclared hazelnuts. Those with allergies to soy or hazelnuts should check their food supply for these products and avoid consumption. Listeners are advised to consult the FDA or their local public health department for a complete list of recalled products and batch numbers.
Adding to infectious disease concerns, state health agencies have reported new cases of measles in Kansas, North Dakota, and New Jersey, tied to ongoing outbreaks. Although Illinois has declared its recent measles cluster over, federal officials are closely monitoring a surge in vaccine skepticism nationwide, underscoring the importance of immunization for community protection. Tragically, in Arizona, The New York Times reports the first fatal case of pneumonic plague in nearly twenty years, emphasizing the need for vigilance around rodent and flea contact, especially in western states.
On another front, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently changed COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for children and pregnant individuals, sparking controversy and a lawsuit by leading medical organizations seeking to reinstate previous guidance and restore trust in federal health messaging, according to a review by Alston & Bird.
With multiple threats—from extreme heat to rising COVID and parvovirus cases, food allergen recalls, and renewed infectious disease outbreaks—public health authorities urge everyone to stay alert, follow local advisories, be vigilant about symptoms, and check for updates from trusted health sources.
