The latest report from the team, released Thursday, Oct. 6, showed hospitalizations declining slowly over the next 12 weeks, with the caveat that a new variant could throw that off. It’s also possible that the number of severe illnesses will remain essentially on a plateau, said Bailey Fosdick, a member of the team and associate professor of biostatistics and informatics at the Colorado School of Public Health. “Over the next 12 weeks, we’re pretty confident things will stay low,” she said.

It’s not clear why hospitalizations stopped dropping for a few weeks while cases and the percentage of tests coming back positive kept falling, said Talia Quandelacy, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. Hopefully, they’ll keep falling, though rising concentrations of the virus in wastewater are something to watch, she said.

It’s possible that the downward trajectory has paused because kids returned to school and adults went back to their offices, meaning the virus has more chances to spread, said Beth Carlton, an associate professor of environmental and occupational health at the Colorado School of Public Health and a member of the state’s modeling team.

The four-shot sequence of polio vaccines is more than 99% effective at preventing paralysis and death from the virus, said Dr. Daniel Pastula, who studies infectious diseases affecting the nervous system at the University of Colorado Anschutz campus. That means people who are fully vaccinated don’t need to worry about polio, even when there’s an outbreak, he said.

U.S. experts foresee more COVID in coming weeks, but it’s not clear what that means for Colorado

It’s possible that the increased positivity rate in those mountain communities reflects that the state has scaled back testing, so that those who don’t feel sick are unlikely to go to the effort of finding a location, said Talia Quandelacy, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health.
