COVID trend reaches "high" level across western U.S. in latest CDC data

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.

I’ve been seeing a few mask freaks, mainly at the grocery store.

Yep. So the f what. My sister and I - living on different coasts- both had it recently.

No big deal at all. It felt like a slight case of flu.

May those tinkering with and trying to destroy humanity burn for eternity.

The first sentence was directed at those pushing the vax.

I argued with my PCP. He mentioned he had 5+ shots and had COVID a few times. That wasn’t reassuring...

YAWN!!!

If Covid can survive on any outside surface while being hammered by the Texas sun...then I might start to worry.

From my (young) doctor’s reaction to me turning down every vax that was on my medical chart - shingles, two flu shots, pneumonia, COVID - I think there were at least five of them - I think he’s well aware of why I’m refusing them.

He hasn’t asked since.

Same here. There are about 1 or 2 masked shoppers for every 100 people, I used to do a masked v unmasked report for the family when I went to the local grocery store.

When the words “public health” are uttered, a lie is being told.

Not counting people sick with ChiComnWuHu . . .
or even tested positive,
but scrounging through their waster water to come up with something to scare people with.

What do you think that Job Title is, and how much does it pay?

Poop Police?

I hope we don’t have to go through all that again. The pressuring and fear mongering was the pits.

So serious “scientists” have to test sewage to see if people have it.
