NC wastewater data shows increase in COVID, yet hospitalizations remain low
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina found more than double the amount of coronavirus in its wastewater last week when compared to week before, even though the state only saw a 24% increase in new cases.
That means that more people are sick with COVID-19 than testing shows. Fewer people are getting tested for coronavirus and at-home coronavirus test are not required to be reported to the state.
"You have to concede the numbers are a significant underestimate of the actual burden of COVID-19 in the community," said Cameron Wolfe, an infectious disease expert with Duke University, on April 21.

He had it right in the sentence....”That’s our opinion”
People are getting colds and not running off blubbering to the nearest emergency room. Go figure.
Maybe they’re not sick with covid. Maybe they just have covid and don’t know because they’re experiencing no symptoms. A significant portion of the population seem immune to it.
That's what happens when you have an overwhelmingly predominant variant that is virtually indistinguishable from the common cold.
Every time I hear someone sneeze, I yell, COVID!” And people start laughing. 😁
