The U.S. is in what may end up being its biggest summer wave of Covid , with no end yet in sight.

There's been a worldwide surge in infections in recent weeks .

The proportion of tests coming back positive for Covid in Europe is above 20% , with wastewater data suggesting case numbers may be two to 20 times higher.

“Our hospitalization rates are down, so even if we are testing and seeing more [ Covid ], it seems to be having less of an impact on our susceptible populations,” Phillips said. Jha said that what happens this winter is impossible to predict but that there could be a silver lining to a large summer wave. “A big summer wave tends to lead to a little bit of a smaller winter wave and vice versa, just because there’s a little bit more immunity in the population,” he said.
