New STUDY tells us the burden of #COVID19 infections remains great and undercounted in the US:

"In 2022-2023, there were an estimated 43.6 million COVID-19–associated illnesses, 10.0 million outpatient visits, 1.1 million hospitalizations, and 101 300 deaths. In 2023-2024, there were an estimated 33.0 million COVID-19–associated illnesses, 7.7 million outpatient visits, 879 100 hospitalizations, and 100 800 deaths."

Funny thing is that I still think this underestimates infections, at least. The infection numbers would suggest the average American gets a #COVID19 infection every 8 to 10 years. Wastewater data and simple observation would suggest a MUCH higher rate of reinfection.
