The fact that we're in yet another COVID wave doesn't register with them either, apparently - or anyone else.
Here in the Netherlands they simply stopped most COVID reporting, but we still see the COVID in wastewater report, and those numbers are the highest ever - not the highest this year, but the highest since COVID appeared like a turd in the punchbowl.
Similar numbers appear in various US states, but again, there doesn't seem to be any uniform data collection.
