COVID-19 Cases Surge in Late-Summer Wave, Experts Warn
TL;DR Summary
The United States is experiencing a summer surge of COVID-19 cases, although experts believe it will be less severe and shorter-lived than previous waves. Data from the CDC shows an increase in COVID-19 indicators such as hospital admissions and test positivity. Wastewater data suggests a plateau in transmission, but other pathogens like adenovirus and norovirus are also circulating at higher levels. The surge is likely driven by increased travel, indoor gatherings due to heat, and waning immunity. Experts recommend continued testing, wearing masks in crowded indoor settings, and waiting for the new XBB variant booster before getting vaccinated.
