Promising review: "I used to make fun of people for using these Stanley cups; I always thought they were overpriced and overhyped. But I purchased this for my little sister who is in nursing school, and she takes this thing with her everywhere!!! All she does is rave about how amazing it is! So I bought one as well, and they really are amazing products. Made super well, they keep ice in them for hours and hours! Super comfortable to hold in your hand, not too heavy or bulky. Easy to clean and seem to be super durable. I've dropped mine I don't even know how many times now, and not a single mark! They also don't leak easy at all. Unless you're holding it completely upside down, even then it doesn't leak fast. Super happy!" —Jon & Katie SeversPrice: $27 (originally $45; deal available on select colors, including fuchsia, plum, mist, and stargaze) and shop all the Stanley deals here
33% off Crest 3D Whitestrips with a no-slip design that'll mold to your teeth and help lighten those coffee stains you thought would be there for a life. You'll get enough strips for 22 days of treatment, which should help your teeth get up to 20 levels whiter!
It comes with 44 strips total: enough for 20 regular treatments and two one-hour express treatments.Promising review: "I haven't used Crest White Strips in over 5 years. Since then my teeth have stayed really white and I frequently get compliments or questions on how I get my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked on how much these have improved! Before the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package and were really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I've purchased I have only used about 4 times and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed too. I think these are well worth the money and work as good as a professional treatment, I have had friends who have done professional treatments and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!" —Vanessa5o5Price: $29.99 (typically $44.95)
40% off the 2nd Gen AirPods Pro (that's $100 off, an all-new lowest price ever!). With active noise cancellation, spatial audio, three silicone tips for customized fit, and over 24 hours of listening time with the included case, the AirPods Pro 2 give you a *ton* of bang for your buck.
Promising review: "I bought these going into it 'I'm going to hate them.' But these have surpassed every expectation I had. My friend was talking about the noise in a call one day and it made me annoyed and these have something weird with Apple phones where they can block out almost all noises while making calls for the person you're calling and for you. Everyone knows Apple has their own technology work better with their phones or whatever it's no hidden thing, but let me tell you, these sound so crystal clear when listening to music, social media, and on calls. The quality alone is so nice! And the features, immerse (you can listen around you) adaptive (it'll block out white noise and annoying sounds) and noise cancellation (you can't hear just about anything around you) it's so wild. These things aren't even that tight in my ears but it's like you put noise cancellation on and it shuts off the outside world. I have this as a mechanic and it's just white noise everywhere with these in it's so comfortable walking around the shop having like ear plugs in essentially. Also, the battery life is great. I charged it fully when I got them and it's lasted me like a week on the case? I have my headphones in around 6 hours at work listening to social media. I probably take them out to charge them walking around the shop or going on break and I've never seen the buds really go below 80% after hours of listing tbh which is kinda wild. For the price it's worth every dollar and more. And to connect to your phone it's as easy as just opening the case and done." —Ethan ScottPrice: $149 (originally $249 (and currently $249 at Apple); typically $189.99 at Amazon)AirPods 4 are also a new lowest price ever — 34% off with noise cancellation (down to $119), 31% off without (down to $89)
Or 50-51% off Beats Solo 4 headphones at the lowest price they go for — they flex some GORGEOUS spatial audio, a whopping 50 hours of battery life, and genuine "all day wear" comfort — reviewers love how lightweight and wearable these are compared to other brands.
Promising review: 'Impressive sound, stylish and sophisticated headphones. I personally like how it's not complete noise cancellation since I like to be aware of the environment around me. So this headphone is amazing for the right reasons. Quality, style, sound, and safety. Not to mention how sleek it is. Finally, headphones that are not bulky or heavy. I appreciate the smooth texture, feel, and the cushioned headband part. It's also easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The blue slate color is classy, too! Excellent product!' —Diane Price: $97.99-$99.99 (originally $199.99; available in four colors)
30% off the summer-friendly, oh-so-lightweight Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes.
Promising review: "This lipstick is a game changer. It goes on and stays on well. It is pretty sheer, but buildable. I have trouble with most red lipsticks turning pink after a bit. So, I will put this over my other colors, and it absolutely makes a difference. It's a great staple to keep in your cosmetic bag. It is something I will definitely buy again. You should absolutely try it!" —Amy H.Price: $17.50 (originally $25; also available in pink honey!)
35% off a Graco Extend2Fit car seat — the 2.0 version, which is a new lowest-ever price. It converts from a rear-facing seat to a forward-facing seat (and a highback booster seat!) and has up to 5" of additional rear-facing legroom to keep your tot safe and comfy in the car for years.
Promising review: "Easy to install, great quality, cute design, my daughter loves it, and it is the perfect size. The latch is great; her other car seat dug into her neck, and this one doesn't at all. It is perfect for safety and comfort. All around super happy over this car seat 💯 recommend for anyone needing a new car seat." —Michael CrossPrice: $149.49 (originally $229.99; sale price only available in the 2.0 versions; available in seven colors) — and shop all the Graco deals here
A rare 20% off the full-size of the iconic Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that not only smells like caramel and pistachio deliciousness (pair it with the also-on-sale body mist to make the scent last even longer!), but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract. No seriously, Sol De Janeiro rarely goes on sale outside of Sephora's storewide sales, so now is the time to stock up.
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $38.40 (originally $48; check out more Sol De Janeiro deals here)
50% off Philips Sonicare ~ExpertClean~ toothbrush (at its best price, and the first time it's been this price since *October 2022*) for a *far* better clean than you get with manual brushes — with less work, too. It comes with a charging case for traveling, and it even has a SENSOR THAT TELLS YOU IF YOU'RE BRUSHING TOO HARD. The technology we have!!
Promising review: "I've been flying through a few of the cheapest sonicares for years, and after frustration, I caved and paid for this high-end one. It's really a treat to have a cadillac of a toothbrush! So many options. It's so nice to have a simple on and off button instead of one button controlling all the settings and taking forever to turn the brush off. This brush has one simple power button. A separate button to change the various modes to brush with and when the brush is on you can adjust power level. The brush comes with some really fancy brush heads, and they are a game changer. I might have to buy brand name brush heads after this. They're longer and curve to hit your teeth just right. You will instantly feel the difference after brushing with a sonicare, treat yourself to a higher end one. Your dental hygiene is worth it. You're worth it." —CharlottePrice: $99.95 (originally $199.95; available in two colors) — and shop all the Philips Sonicare deals here. The Sonicare Protective Clean toothbrush is 36% off, bringing it down to $69.95.
30% off a Philips Norelco OneBlade electric trimmer (at a new lowest recorded price) that is beloved by tens of thousands of shavers for a reason. It can trim hair to the desired length (there are five length options!), shape edges, and (of course) shave — wet, dry, and with foam — comfortably and without irritating skin. Just rinse clean when done. And psst: Reviewers love it for their bikini line too!
Promising review: "I've used multiple other electronic shavers, and nothing, I mean nothing compares to this one. This will literally leave you babyfaced, where as some other ones will leave a stubble. Will definitely be using this a whole lot more on the future!" —Nosey RoseyPromising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I wish they would have made this 40 years ago! I literally have tried to cut or snag myself with this and still can't. This makes grooming those hard to see/reach areas sooooooo much easier." —James W.Price: $34.96 (originally $49.99) and shop all the Philips Norelco deals here
48% off a hydrating Cosrx repairing essence formulated with 96% snail secretion filtrate, which can help with dryness and damaged skin. Reviewers also mention seeing a reduction in dark spots and acne, and even people with oily skin find that it absorbs quickly and doesn't clog their pores. Who knew snails had the secret to glassy, glowy skin this whole time?!
Promising review: "My skin dries out severely during the winter all the time, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me, eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month I finally gave in, and boy it is amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer and it doesn't leave a disgusting greasy feel as Vaseline. Take it from a once non-believer, you have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko OzakiPrice: $12.99 (originally $25 (and currently $25 at Ulta and Demstore), typically $16.99 at Amazon) — and check out all the Cosrx products on sale for Prime Day
20% off a pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment — they're made of a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid that can drain fluids from any open pimples and cover any that are already on the surface. Many reviewers say they're practically undetectable and adhere much better to the skin than other brands. Plus, your derm will be very relieved that you aren't popping it!
BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!Promising reviews: "The holy grail of pimple patches. None will ever compare. I've tried different brands. This one I keep coming back to! The adhesion is pretty good. Make sure your face is cleansed and completely dry. I made the mistake of moisturizing on accident first and then the patch doesn't stick well. Don't be like me! Most of the time it works great. Next morning that gunk will be GONE! If it's a little baby pimple/or too early for the patch, then sometimes it doesn't work but that's most likely because it wasn't ready. Anyway, love this stuff and will be repurchasing!!" —LBHero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strips, and more!Price: $10.08 (originally $12.99; also available in a pack of 72).
34% off the TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner that sprays on water and stain-fighting cleaner, then sucks it away to blast away years' of mess — on carpet *and* furniture. Reviewers love it for banishing pet stains, spills, and more — without having to waste a lot of their valuable storage space.
Promising review: "Yup, saw it on TikTok and had to buy it. My car's upholstery was so dirty from my dogs and years of NOT getting it deep cleaned. This is a game changer. I should've taken a before and after because it was awesome. Not to mention how satisfying it is seeing the dirty water get sucked back into the tank. Easy to prep. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I definitely recommend. This will be perfect for other things in the house as well because if it can tackle MY car with two big dogs, it's gold." —Taylor L.Price: $81.99 (typically $123.59; if you see a "regular" price of $105.99, it's from a third-party seller, not from Bissell/Amazon) — and shop all the Bissell deals here
20% off a set of 12 Rubbermaid Brilliance containers (they've only been this cheap one other time in the past year) and made of BPA-free Tritan plastic that's designed to *stay* crystal clear and not absorb any odors. They are truly leak-proof (perfect for meal prep or lunches!) and have built-in venting lids for easy reheating.
Promising review: "For nearly all of my adult life, I was simply getting Gladware or Ziplock, letting them slowly deteriorate over the course of a few months, recycling them (or losing them), lather, rinse, repeat. It finally occurred to me to splurge on some good ones. I'm not one to review things very often, let alone food storage containers, but here we are. I've been so impressed and satisfied with these in just a few months that I feel compelled to tell y'all about them. They're super airtight, the plastic is crystal clear, and they've each been through the wash a dozen times with no particular sign of wear and tear yet. Usually by this point, the Ziplocs are cloudy, warped, have holes, etc. But these guys, they just keep ticking. We've put soup directly in them, frozen them, you name it. Worth the extra few bucks to keep a few more items out of the landfill." —Eric BeneauPrice: $43.99 (originally $54.99; smaller sets are also on sale) — and check out all the Rubbermaid deals here
40% off IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream that more than 21,000 reviewers swear by. The full-coverage foundation has a hydration dose of hyaluronic acid and soothing vitamin E, and it even has SPF 50+ for sun protection!
In order to get the full SPF of foundation/makeup products, you need to use more than you'd normally put on your face, so note that this should be paired with an actual sunscreen underneath.Promising review: "In addition to having 50 SPF, this product is wonderful for giving the coverage needed with just a tiny bit in the palm of your hand and a good makeup brush. I have used it for two to three years and absolutely love it. I also get lots of compliments on my skin, and I am over 70." —MartyPromising review: "I have been using this foundation for probably at least 8 years and I love it!!! I have tried a few other foundations over the years and I keep coming back to this one. What I love about it is that it's full coverage — yet still feel lightweight. It's also super easy for me to color match with this foundation. It has SPF in it also which is super nice! Give this a try!!" —SomerPrice: $28.20 (originally $47; available in 29 shades).
22% off a compact Levoit air purifier (that's the lowest price this goes for!) with a true HEPA filter to trap that pesky dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and other particles in the air that are keeping your home from smelling fresh...and keeping you sneezing. Plus, this has smart features, like the ability to control it from your phone *and* the ability to set a schedule, so it'll automatically set itself to "sleep mode" with "no nightlight" at 10 p.m. every night. Now that's smart.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer says, "I have the non-smart version of this in my bedroom, and I love it. Just note that when you get it, you need to take the filter out and unwrap it before using!"Promising review: "I waited over a month to write a review — this air purifier is amazing!! It's one of those products that you don't understand how much of a difference it makes until you get one. I have two cats,and my house is all carpet, so the house can smell stagnant sometimes, especially if the AC is off. One of my cats also has asthma, so I got this air purifier mostly for her, but it's made such a HUGE difference in the way my home smells. Since having it, my house has consistently smelled fresh, clean, and odorless. Even after forgetting to clean the litter boxes, my house has not smelled like cat litter since I've had it. It's very easy to set up. I bought a little plant stand to put it on so it wouldn't be on the carpet. It's very quiet, and the app is easy to use. It tells you the life of your filter, which is super helpful, and these filters last for a long time! You can set it up to be on a schedule, so you can set it up once and just forget about it. I recommend this air purifier to everyone. I'm NEVER worried about my house smelling anything but clean now. I would repurchase this a thousand times over." —haileePrice: $69.97 (originally $89.99)
22% off (a new lowest price ever) the newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite — it has 25% faster page turns (!!), higher contrast ratio, and a glare-free 7-inch display. Plus all the features of the previous version, like a warm light setting for late-night reading and waterproof rating for worry-free poolside or beach reading.
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about my Kindle Paperwhite — it's truly a reader's dream! The screen is crisp and easy on the eyes, even in bright sunlight or total darkness, thanks to the adjustable backlight. No glare, no straining —just pure reading bliss. The lightweight design makes it super comfortable to hold, even for long reading sessions. Plus, the battery life is incredible — I can go weeks without needing to charge it! It's also waterproof, which means I can finally read by the pool or in the bath without worrying. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to carry an entire library with me wherever I go. Whether I'm traveling, commuting, or just relaxing at home, I always have something great to read at my fingertips.If you're on the fence about getting one—do it. The Kindle Paperwhite is sleek, powerful, and makes reading more convenient and enjoyable than ever. I'm completely obsessed with mine!" —Amber GoddardPrice: $124.99 (originally $159.99) — and shop all the Kindle deals here

Promising review: "I've been dealing with WebOS on my LG TV for three years now, and enough is enough. Fire TV stick is 🔥 I love this thing. I can even view my Blink cameras on the big screen now; so cool. Setup is so easy and it linked to my other Alexa-enabled devices just great.

30% off a 100-piece set of Picasso Tiles, which reviewers say work with and are comparable to Magnatiles (so if the kiddo in your life already has some, these can expand their set), for some extra bang for your buck *and* a sale on top of that.
Promising review: "I wish I had known about these sooner! PicassoTiles are *exactly* like Magna-tiles but way more affordable. We just received the 100 tile set today - an early birthday gift for our soon-to-be-four-year-old. We have two sets of Magna-tiles - one with the grommets (purchased new last year) and one without (purchased second hand [no idea how old they are]). The PicassoTiles are the same weight and size as the MagnaTiles and have the same exact magnets. They do not have metal grommets, but the old MagnaTiles are indestructible, so I know that these will be too. And PicassoTiles are much prettier in my opinion, because they are slightly more translucent and have brighter colors. They integrate into the collection seamlessly. I highly recommend this product. And if you are considering buying any kind of magnetic tile toy for your child, I recommend purchasing as big a set a you can for versatility of play. Our son has played with these all day and night off and on every single day since we bought them last year. After integrating the new PicassoTile set, he hugged his enormous structure and declared them his favorite...twice. A wonderful toy!" —skater momPrice: $27.99 (typically $39.99) — and check out all the deals on toys and games here.
30% off tons of Olaplex best-sellers, including the wildly popular No. 3 Hair Perfector, which is meant to help rebuild the bonds in your hair (which can become damaged due to chemical treatments, color processes, and heat styling) and help prevent further damage.
Note: This is a repairing treatment, NOT a conditioner! To use, apply it before your shampoo to damp, towel-dried hair, let it sit for at least 3 minutes (up to 10 for maximum results), then follow it up with your go-to shampoo and conditioner. It's designed for all hair types.Promising reviews for No. 3 Hair Perfector: "This tiny little magical oil has done everything it promotes, plus much, much more! I can't live without this now! I've been using it on my very thin, dried-out, frizzy curls — it solves it all! My hair after one use was noticeably different but now it looks thick, healthy, shiny, and after six weeks of using it twice a week. It looks like I got a fresh haircut! My hair is noticeably healthier, and other people see a difference! Don't hesitate to get this! I wish I had it sooner!" —Katie"I'm transitioning to natural, and Oplalex is great for restoring moisture and helping with breakage. I have 4c delicate hair, and this product is perfect. Especially great in restoring my hair nutrition when coming out of protective hairstyles." —JeanettePrice: $21 (originally $30; and check out more Olaplex deals here)
31% off a large Brita water pitcher with a 10-cup capacity because it's pretty tough to meet your family's hydration goals with water that tastes...let's just say, at best, funky.
Promising review: "I was getting tired of lugging heavy packs of bottled water home, not to mention my growing concern about the plastic waste in the landfills. After a lot of research, I settled on this one and have not been disappointed. I was concerned about the taste as we don't have the best water in my city. However, I have been extremely pleased with the taste and how fast it filters the water. I would recommend this to anyone." —Double R Price: $28.99 (typically $41.98)
25% off, plus 7% off the fan-favorite Chom Chom pet hair roller if you love your pets but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!
Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —StephaniePrice: $17.43 (originally $24.99); click "redeem" by promo code 7OFFPDCHOM for this price
50% off a ridiculously durable, windproof travel umbrella with a LIFETIME warranty, making it the true last umbrella you'll ever buy. This uses fiberglass ribs instead of flimsier aluminum, which helps it keep its shape in 70+ MPH winds, and still manages to be super lightweight and compact for travel.
Check out a TikTok of the Tumella umbrella in action. Promising review: "Why would anyone want to purchase another umbrella with the warranty this one gives? Not like you will need the warranty with this build quality. Almost every umbrella I have owned has five, maybe six, thin metal rods held together with a tiny pin to form the frame. This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." —E. SmokerPrice: $14.98+ (typically $29.99; available in 25 colors and packs of two)
35% off Bic mechanical pencils because school is back in session very soon, so you might as well stock up to beat the August rush. Revewers say these glide across the page and don't break easily — and the generous 40-pack size means you can lose a few over the course of the year and still have plenty of backups.
Promising review: "I recently purchased the 40-pack of BIC mechanical pencils, and I'm thoroughly impressed. As a teacher, I go through pencils quickly, and this bulk pack is a lifesaver. Each pencil writes smoothly and consistently, with no annoying lead jams or breakage. The #2 HB lead is perfect for standardized testing and everyday writing, and I love that I don't have to constantly sharpen like with traditional pencils." —Melanie J.Price: $6.47 (originally $9.98 — and shop all the school supply deals here)
30% off the fan-favorite Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask formulated with vitamin C and antioxidants to help revive your lips overnight. If your lips are dry and crusty, this is the before-bed step your routine is missing.
Promising review: "I just had to write a review because for years I've suffered from severe chapped lips no matter the season. I've spent hundreds of dollars searching for a product that would help prevent or even soften my lips, without success until now. Immediately after putting this product on, I knew my search was over. And by day two, I knew I would be a customer for life. My lips stay moist from sunup to sundown, and it works perfectly as a base to lipsticks or my preference — long-wear lip color. I highly recommend this product for soft, chap-free lips." —Angela AustinPrice: $16.80 (originally $24; available in two flavors at this price and four other flavors for 20% off)

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this coat; I love everything about it! The quality is outstanding! I have had every expensive brand-name winter coat, but have never ever had one that has kept me this warm!

33% off a 32-pack of Energizer AA batteries because now that you have kids, holidays and birthdays have become a fruitless game of "hide and seek" through your junk drawers, while you desperately try and find batteries to turn on whatever gadget or gizmo your kids got.

45% off a Waterpik Water Flosser that can improve gum health and claims to remove up to 99.9% of plaque with good 'ol water pressure, and make it especially easier to maneuver around braces, implants, and other dental work. Make your dentist proud!
Promising review: "So...this Waterpik is amazing. I had 4mm and 5mm periodontal pockets from not flossing and also experienced some bone loss, I also had to get a very uncomfortable deep gum pocket cleaning. I literally hated flossing and would find myself avoiding to floss, even though I needed it very much. My gums were red, swollen, and inflamed because I was in the early stages of periodontal disease. I started using the Waterpik flosser and instantly liked this way of flossing much better! After using it consecutively each night for only five days my gums were noticeably better and felt much better. After two weeks of using the Waterpik flossing, coconut oil pulling, and mouthwash treatment, my gums have done a complete 180 and my mouth and gums are starting to heal properly! Also this flosser can be somewhat loud, but definitely gets the job done. Brought this with my own money and this is an honest testimonial/review. I will be back with an update on what mm my gum pockets will be!" —EbonyPrice: $54.99 (originally $99.99; available in four colors) — and shop all the Waterpik deals here
41% off an electric, adjustable standing desk so you can stretch your legs and take standing breaks throughout the day, without missing a beat in your emails or meetings. This allows you to simply raise or lower your computer to eye level with the press of a button.
Promising review: "This desk is wonderful! I got it to switch from a stationary to a sit/stand desk. I liked that the desktop was one solid piece (vs some that are 2 pieces), and I liked the combination of desktop and desk leg colors. My dad and I worked to put this together, and it took us about an hour. All the of the screws and things needed came in nicely labeled bags and it was really easy to figure out what we needed to use.

COVID-19 cases are rising in these states amid summer wave
The summer surge of COVID-19 is here, with data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing increases across much of the country. In its latest report, the CDC said the number of cases is now growing or likely growing in at least 26 states and Washington, D.C. COVID-related emergency room visits for young kids are also the highest they've been since March, according to the data. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook told "CBS Mornings" Monday this is typical of what we've come to understand about summer spikes in cases. "We now know that there's a winter spike and then there's a summer spike," he said. "And every year, I just looked last night, the number of deaths, the number of hospitalizations, is gradually going down each season. So that's the good news." But, people shouldn't ignore the increases, he added. "If it strikes you, especially for the vulnerable, and we're talking about very young children under age of 4, the elderly, people who are immunocompromised — there are millions of people who are immunocompromised out there — they can really get sick," LaPook said. New COVID variants Nimbus and Stratus The latest COVID variants, named Nimbus and Stratus, are "no more deadly" than previous variants, LaPook said. Data on previous variants, like NB.1.8.1 from earlier this year, for example, also did not show more severe illness compared to previous variants. Symptoms were broadly similar to those seen in earlier strains, too, including respiratory issues such as cough and sore throat, as well as systemic issues like fever and fatigue. "The vaccines that were made for this season do cover the current variants, so that's good news," LaPook said. "I think the bottom line here is: Don't be blasé. It's the summer, people have all sorts of things. Be careful." Should I get a COVID vaccine booster? While the CDC website still says the COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from "severe illness, hospitalization and death," there have been some shifts in recommendations. LaPook admits we're in a bit of an odd period right now because the CDC has different vaccine recommendations than many of the major health organizations and societies. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, for example, says pregnant people should get vaccinated. "Because the baby ... before they can get a shot, they're really relying on the mother's immunity — the mother has the antibodies, goes through the placenta, and then the baby has some protection," LaPook explained. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "said it's now shared decision making," LaPook said. "So that means that go talk to your clinician about it, which is always a good idea, but it's a little bit of a different recommendation than just saying, 'go get it.'" The CDC also now recommends "shared clinical decision-making" for giving healthy children the COVID-19 vaccine. While the agency currently recommends most adults aged 18 and older get a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine, it says it's especially important if you're 65 and older, at high risk for severe COVID-19 or have never received a COVID-19 shot. Where COVID-19 cases are growing COVID-19 cases are growing in these states, according to the CDC: ArkansasHawaiiIllinoisIowaKentuckyNorth CarolinaOhioPennsylvaniaTexasVirginiaWhere COVID-19 cases are likely growing The CDC says COVID-19 cases are likely growing in the following places: AlaskaCaliforniaDelawareDistrict Of ColumbiaGeorgiaIndianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMississippiNew JerseyNew YorkOklahomaSouth CarolinaTennesseeWisconsin What shocked "Matlock" star Kathy Bates?
