COVID-19 certainly didn't take a vacation this summer. Virus levels in the US have been on the rise for weeks, but it's hard to know exactly how widely it's spreading.
Federal data suggests that the current increases have stayed far below earlier peaks and notable surges. But judging by word of mouth among family, friends and coworkers, it can seem like everyone knows someone who's sick with COVID-19 right now.
"We have several folks down with COVID, unfortunately," one health-focused nonprofit told CNN when seeking comment for this story.
Rates of severe disease may be staying at relatively low levels, but experts agree that there are probably more infections than the current surveillance systems can capture.

“Experts agree” Actually, it's "self-described/self-promoted 'medical experts' who have lost all credibility to dispense medical advice agree."
Anyone who still heeds the advice of these charlatans is both a fool and is a person who is only fooling themselves ... rarely a good thing to do.

It’s hard to tell how quickly it’s spreading because people believe it’s allergies or a summer cold....not a PANDEMIC!!!

The tests have it so that a common cold gives a positive result.

IOW, they don’t have the facts on their side so they have resorted to “everybody knows”.
