Is this the biggest Covid summer wave ever?

Is this the biggest Covid summer wave ever?

A rise in Covid infections began in early June, and wastewater data from the CDC shows levels are still rising.

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


“If you just talk about infections, this is probably going to end up becoming the largest summer wave we’ve had,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health and former White House Covid-19 response coordinator. “It’s still not as big as the winter waves, but it is starting to get close.” 

It's not only in the U.S. There's been a worldwide surge in infections in recent weeks, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, technical lead for Covid at the World Health Organization, said in a briefing this week. 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 than what's being reported, Van Kerkhove said.
