It seems like everyone has COVID. Why this wave may be worse than official data suggests

Experts agree that there are probably more infections than the current surveillance systems can capture.

COVID-19 certainly didn't take a vacation this summer. Virus levels in the US have been on the rise for weeks, but it's hard to know exactly how widely it's spreading.

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.

"We have several folks down with COVID, unfortunately," one health-focused nonprofit told CNN when seeking comment for this story.

Rates of severe disease may be staying at relatively low levels, but experts agree that there are probably more infections than the current surveillance systems can capture.

WTF cares?  The number of infections is irrelevant if they aren't causing serious illness in a significant number of people who have it.  In other words, if it's just another version of the common cold, WGAF.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
