A key indicator for tracking the spread of COVID-19 has officially reached "high" levels across western U.S. states, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now shows. But the agency says it remains too early to say whether this year's summer COVID-19 surge has arrived nationwide.
Levels of SARS-CoV-2 virus showing up in wastewater samples are climbing in most parts of the country, according to figures from the agency through June 27.
Health authorities have increasingly relied on analyzing samples from sewers to get a sense of COVID-19 trends, now that cases are largely no longer being tested or reported. The CDC also relies on data from emergency rooms and hospitals to track the virus.
"Summer is back and we are about to have the summer bump, that we call it, of COVID cases. You know, we have a bump in the summer, and then it goes down in the fall, and goes up more substantially in the winter," Dr. William Schaffner, professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, told CBS News.

No one cares anymore, See-BS. The scare tactics don’t work.
Big Pharma knows people are no longer taking or are hesitant to take another COVID vax - so they have to ramp up scare mongering to keep up sales.
My doctor told me last week I needed the new, improved COVID + shot plus another shot to prevent the flu.
I told him no, he knew I meant business and that was the end of it.
Exactly.
Any difference between COVID and a cold or flu — except that “COVID” sounds more scary?
Is this the “election”-variant of COVID?
Strikes every two years, conveniently.
Quick, don the masks! Stay indoors. No church. Have as much as possible delivered. Wear mask while driving.
Recall Fauci back to active duty. We need his expertise.
Biden to the basement.
Don’t forget, we’ve got gorebal warming to contend with as well so no farting.
Ah yes, the old 1% of emergency department visits and wastewater treatment poop stats. Can’t be too serious, we sure aren’t hearing about a lot of deaths
Someone needs to keep track of everyone who has the common cold, bronchitis, and pneumonia!
There must be dead bodies littering the streets. Oh, those are just fentanyl ODs
EC
Should we mask up and social distance doc?
Expect it to until a peak in the first week of November.
When you have to use the term “cases” it means you haven’t done any specific vetted tests that can actually detect the particular virus. They’re asserting that people with bad flu have Covid because of a doctors/hospitals subjective determination.
Lol, fishing in poop water to determine how many covid cases there are? If that is what they are into, then whatever i guess
So conventional testing doesn’t detect covid but poo samples are good enough to make c.aims about how many cases there are? Hmm, weird.
Should we mask up and social distance doc?
OMG, Flatten the Curve!
CDC is testing Poop.
So, THAT explains why CDC is FULL OF CRAP!!!!
Wake me when it gets as bad as the 1665 London Plague.
I am on Medicare with an Advantage plan. During a doctors visit they can offer to administer some vaccines while others require a visit to the local drugstore. It is obvious the doctors group is going push the vaccines they can administer on site. Told my new PCP to get lost 6 months ago for a Covid shot.
Good for you.
My husband was pressured tremendously to get the COVID vax - his doctors and nurses kept asking him repeatedly why he was refusing to take it - all he kept repeating was “no thank you.” They even went so far as to bring the vax into the exam room to try to coerce him to take it. NO. He never did take it - or any other vax.
My doctor merely asked me, then dropped it.

Isn't radical Democratic-run California, for example, a Trump Title 42 (CV19)-ignoring sanctuary state?
California city declares a public health emergency after tuberculosis sickens 14 (5.8.24)
Democratic and Republican Trump supporters desperately need to support hopeful Trump 47 with new, Constitution-respecting state and federal lawmakers in November, no only so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, the new Congress also supporting him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
