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.

    Maybe I’ll finally get to live my dream of being an old timey doctor (by just telling people I’m a doctor) and then just doing a bunch of drugs together to get the ghosts out of their blood until they die and I can clear out all of their valuables.

    Just hoping for some silver linings.
