New York, Sep 2 (Ians) Rates of severe Covid disease may be staying at relatively low levels in the US, but experts agree that there are probably more infections than the current surveillance systems can capture, reports CNN.
Virus levels in the US have been on the rise for weeks and 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,” the report noted.
“There is more transmission out there than what the surveillance data indicates,” said Janet Hamilton, executive director of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. “We should be paying attention to it, because we are starting to see an increase.”

With the Omicron wave finally ebbing, the biggest U.S. states that still had statewide Covid restrictions are beginning to lift many of them. California, Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, Oregon, Illinois, New York, and Rhode Island — all states with Democratic governors — have ended or eased their mask mandates.
The experts Rolling Stone spoke to, including two members of President Joe Biden’s Covid advisory board, agreed it’s time for broad statewide restrictions to end. Local governments should take the lead, instead, focusing on vaccine mandates and measures tailored to individual communities.
