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.

This is what I initially thought but my friend said I could still, say, pay out of pocket. I'm hearing conflicting statements.

    This is what I was told at Kaiser, then I went to a private pharmacy to double check. They aren’t allowed to give it, regardless of insurance or out of pocket.

    If you lie and say you have an organ transplant or some equally serious immunological condition you can get it, and they aren’t allowed to ask for proof.

    You will have to pay out of pocket though, and it will be awkward explaining why you don’t have insurance while having a bankrupting condition.
