[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forbes: "Covid levels have once again rebounded, hitting their highest levels since last December.."

"..The CDC lists 23 states as having “very high” levels of Covid, according to wastewater data, primarily in the Northeast, Midwest and upper Great Plains (Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin).
Another 12 states are considered to have “high” levels of Covid, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia..."

Yes, Forbes, the well-known medical journal...

Setting that aside, and fact that wastewater data is not an accurate, direct measure of cases, covid is a respiratory virus. What did you expect to see in the winter?

Wastewater is an accurate measure of the current prevalence of Covid (and other viruses) in the community. High wastewater levels correlate with an increase in hospitalizations about 2 weeks later.

We are undeniably in the midst of a Covid wave. No, it will not be as high as the original Omicron wave in 2021, but it may be the second highest wave when it peaks in about 2 weeks. Complicating matters, flu cases are also high and on the rise. RSV cases seem to have peaked.

Thank you to all of you who have worked so hard to attack the usefulness of vaccines and other public health measures - you've done a great job![/quote]
