A COVID wave is washing over California, with the state seeing continued increases in the number of newly confirmed cases and hospitalizations as some officials urged the public to take greater precautions.
The extent of the recent increases has prompted some county-level health officials to recommend that residents once again consider wearing masks in indoor public settings, at least until transmission has declined.
California currently has "high" coronavirus levels in sewage, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And increases are being seen across the Golden State, from Los Angeles County to the San Francisco Bay Area to areas around the state capital.
The CDC estimates that coronavirus infections are either "growing" or "likely growing" in 30 states, including California. Twenty-one states have either “very high” or "high" viral levels in wastewater. Of all regions of the U.S., the West has the highest levels of coronavirus in wastewater, followed by the South
"California is experiencing a summer COVID wave," said Dr. Aimee Sisson, the health officer in Yolo County, just west of Sacramento.
The rate at which coronavirus lab tests are coming back positive also continues to climb. For the week that ended Aug. 23, 12.07% of tests across the state came back positive, up from a rate of 6.03% for the week that ended July 26.
Similar leaps in rates were seen in L.A. County, where the positive test rate was 13.44%, up from 8.11% four weeks earlier; in Orange County, it was 18.1%, up from 9.4%; and in San Francisco, it was 8.7%, up from 7.1%.
Dr. Elizabeth Hudson, the regional chief of infectious diseases at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, said she received many calls related to outpatient cases of COVID-19 while on call over the Labor Day weekend.

And, so it begins……..again.
They need some red diaper butt masks.
Gee I wonder why??? Maybe because school started two weeks ago?? I so hate the state government and yhe health debts.
Is this the version that has no symptoms at all?
Some experts CA say there is evidence that suggests Covid can be passed via gas, (flatulence) due to COVID-19 found in the fecal matter of infected people.
But others in the field say the risk of airborne transmission through flatulence is considered negligible. While some experts say the use of ass masks will limit the spread. However California officials have stated the ass masks must worn outside the clothing to be able to determine if the person if compliant with masking requirements.
My nephew started kindergarten last Wednesday, he’s had 105 fever that lasted two days..and now he has a slight sniffle from somewhere, lil kids bring home crap from school its normal yet these commies act like OMG OMG the world is ending mask up..NO, let germs do what they do people will get over it

Get back to me when Charlton Heston is driving around the empty streets of LA shooting albino mutants.
🎼Catch a wave and you’re sitting on top of the world....
That was a fun day.
I need a booster! I need my masky-wasky! I need three of ‘em!
“California currently has “high” coronavirus levels in sewage”
which even biden’s former CDC admitted bears zero relationship to the severity of symptoms of those who MIGHT be infected or the rates of hospitalization ....
HOWEVER, SUPPOSEDLY high levels of SUPPOSEDLY detected covid virus in public shit makes a great scary headline for those too stupid and ignorant to read past the headline or even understand what the might be reading if they DO start to read the article ...
Covid and another fire at an historic Gold Rush site, and the Governor is out of the State again?
That’s right, the covid version floating around has no symptom at all. The best way to fight it is to get that swab done and have a big pharma kit tell you if it tests positive.
For those testing positive, get a covid shot, a half dozen boosters, wear a mask all the time and shelter indoors. Don’t forget social distancing with those inside your home.
While recovering it is recommended to watch MSNBC and CNN for important updates.
