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.

    Why would this matter? I mean, it isnt a good thing, but cancelling vaccine research wouldnt have an impact on vaccination levels after a week.

    It matters because it's just another step in a long trip of many steps where the eventual goal is... I have no idea, get us all sick and dying again from preventable illnesses?

    It matters because vaccines require research and this WILL have yet another negative impact on the world, people will eventually die from decisions like these

    If today another Covid were to break out, the US would become a leper colony
