"Coronavirus levels in California's wastewater remain " very high," according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as they are in much of the country."
""There are a few more people in the hospitals, but I think it's less than last summer," said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a UC San Francisco infectious diseases expert."
""I feel like we are at a plateau.""
Coronavirus wastewater levels across California remain very high according to the CDC, even as some clinical indicators begin to fall. Statewide test positivity reached 11.72% for the week ending Sept. 6, up from 10.8% the prior week, though wastewater viral levels are lower than last summer's peak. The COVID hospital admission rate slipped to 3.9 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents from 4.14 the prior week, and overall hospitalizations remain low compared with earlier surges. Los Angeles and Santa Clara counties saw slight declines in new admissions, Orange County ticked up, and San Francisco appears plateaued. Hospitalized patients tend to be older and not recently immunized, with some experiencing superimposed bacterial pneumonia.
