US news outlets will be reporting that "per CDC data, Covid is at its lowest levels" and framing as if the virus is gone. But if 2024 levels now = 0, then it's a year with 6-9 months at winter surge levels. Think about what it means if CDC hands the new administration data showing "no Covid."‪Gregory Travis‬ ‪@gregorytravis.com‬

Heads-up: new CDC data baseline change alters Covid wastewater reporting to artificially reduce community transmission levels. Going forward wastewater will look like the US has "no Covid" per its official (CDC) data.
