The summer surge of COVID-19 doesn't appear to be slowing down — instead, a key indicator for tracking the spread of the virus has increased, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In an update shared Friday, official data showed wastewater activity for COVID-19 is now at a "moderate" level nationwide, up from "low" the previous week.

Wastewater levels for the virus are currently the highest in the Western U.S., the data also showed. States in this region showing high levels include: Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada and Utah.

Kennedy's CDC took them away from younger healthy people, so insurance isn't covering them. Not sure if you could get one by paying cash.

(Boy, he's really pushing the family name into the shitter, isn't he?)

It's always been in the shitter if you've been paying attention.

In the 70s and 80s things were very much not in the shitter... You just had that nuclear war thing hanging over your head when you stopped to think about it.

Well, things may not have been, but we're talking about the Kennedy family name. That has been in the shitter for a while, if you were paying attention.

Which makes it that much more impressive he's managed to worsen it so much.
