The CDC also says most Americans are in “low COVID transmission”.
Last week, top U.S. infectious disease official Dr Anthony Fauci said that although he does not expect a major surge, he would not be surprised to see a rise in cases owing to the increasing dominance of the BA.2 sub-variant.
Endemicity is like a recession. It takes a while (generally at least several months) after it kicks in for it to be recognized as having done so. :)
Given that the SARS-COV-2 virus has been endemic for roughly 18 months, one would think that recognition is perhaps overdue?
