COVID-19 Could Be Surging in the U.S. Right Now and We Might Not Even Know It

The rise of Covid cases in some regions of the U.S., just as testing efforts wane, has raised the specter that the next major wave of the virus may be difficult to detect. In fact, the country could be in the midst of a surge right now and we might not even know it.

Testing and viral sequencing are critical to responding quickly to new outbreaks of Covid. And yet, as the country tries to move on from the pandemic, demand for lab-based testing has declined and federal funding priorities have shifted. The change has forced some testing centers to shutter while others have hiked up prices in response to the end of government-subsidized testing programs. People are increasingly relying on at-home rapid tests if they decide to test at all. But those results are rarely reported, giving public health officials little insight into how widespread the virus truly is.

Blue October - Fear

All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down
So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage
Consume me,
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up
I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me
The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free, yeah
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadow see through me
'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
And now, fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
I used to fall but now I get back up
I'm moving on
Oh God just move on
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid Get back up
Get up
Feel it, fear, wow
And now fear, fear in itself can use you up
And then breaks you down
You're never enough
And I used to fall
Breathe
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask him to help you carry on

Be fearful of a virus that doesn’t even rise to the level of a pathogen???

[E. Pluribus Unum]

99.74% survivable by the CDC’s own numbers but we still must pretend it’s the Bubonic plague because racism.

[madison10]

Not do we care.

[ChildOfThe60s]

The question I would ask the writers at Time Magazine is who cares?

If we don’t know how widespread it is it can’t be much of a problem. Unless people are dying at home in their beds and beginning to get smelly. Then we will figure that out pretty quickly

[Republican Wildcat]

well if we “don’t even know it” then it can’t be that bad this time around. Or it isn’t even happening.

Pointless article.

[Baldwin77]

Wake me up when we realize it. I don’t see the problem here, if it doesn’t make you sick, who cares... or WHO cares?

(That should be about election time.)

[shadowlands1960]

Exactly. This is an example of a ‘non headline, headline.’ It’s ‘all the news that’s not there.’ It’s about ‘fear.’

[gibsonguy]

“the next major wave of the virus may be difficult to detect.“

Do you supposed the rat hack who wrote this has any idea of what the implication of that sentence is?

[READINABLUESTATE]

“COVID-19 Could Be Surging in the U.S. Right Now and We Might Not Even Know It”

If a tree falls in the forest...

[lgjhn23]

Knock, knock....COVID here.
KNOCK, KNOCK...COVID HERE!!!!

Nobody’s home.

Polio was 99.5% survivable too.

Testing and viral sequencing are critical to responding quickly to new outbreaks of Covid.

What RESPONSE? Wear more masks? Stay 6, 10 or 15 feet away from others? Wear your mask when out walking alone or in your car by yourself? Take Booster #2, #3, #4, #5 and #6 a week apart?

There is a serious lack of critical thinking at Time. If any of those things worked, then we wouldn't have outbreaks.

The only practical "response" is to stay home if you have bad symptoms.

And don't forget to get lots of fresh air, exercise, and take your daily supplements (Zinc, Vit C, Vit D3, Quercetin, Melatonin, Blackseed Oil, and NAC).

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

What bullshit. They can test the sewage treatment plants anf find everything they want to know.

[Luke21]

Freaking “Mad Magazine.”

[shadowlands1960]

To be fair to ‘Time’ they picked up this story from Bloomberg...’

[Carriage Hill]

Perfect timing, isn’t it? Who didn’t see this tactic coming?

[nitzy]

Reminds me of the at home headache test....

Even FRAUDci’s blind mice saw it coming.

Just wait til they push more fake vids out of China, like they did in early 2020.

Oh, wait....

Wake up, folks.

I don’t suppose the writer is even aware of the irony.
