It seems like everyone has COVID. Why this wave may be worse than official data suggests

COVID-19 certainly didn't take a vacation this summer. Virus levels in the US have been on the rise for weeks, but it's hard to know exactly how widely it's spreading. 

Federal data suggests that the current increases have stayed far below earlier peaks and notable surges. But judging by word of mouth among family, friends and coworkers, it can seem like everyone knows someone who's sick with COVID-19 right now.

That's funny. I don't know a single person that has covid nor have I heard of a single case around here.

It must really suck to have a disease that shows no symptoms or ill effects. I don't know how we'll manage to survive it until the 2024 election takes place.
