The Winter COVID Surge Did Not Materialize This Year, or At Least, It Hasn't Yet
Briefly

As of January 15, 2024, California's COVID positivity test rate is just above 2%, a significant drop from over 11% in the same period last year.
Experts caution that while there is no current winter surge, it could be delayed rather than avoided, likely triggered by colder weather and gatherings.

The vaccination rate for the updated 2024 COVID vaccine is only at 27%, though previous vaccinations may have contributed to lower case numbers this winter.
