The US has seen a significant increase in transmission, with the CDC's wastewater data update showing the steepest week-over-week increase since the delta wave in 2021. However, concerns have been raised about the accuracy and transparency of the CDC's reporting, with some data appearing to be re-categorized or no longer available. ### Engagements: XXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::701844034755633157/interactions)  - X Week XXXXXX -XX% - X Month XXXXXXX -XX% - X Months XXXXXXXXX -XX% - X Year XXXXXXXXX -XX% ### Mentions: XX [#](/creator/twitter::701844034755633157/posts_active)  - X Week XX -XX% - X Month XXX +24% - X Months XXX +53% - X Year XXX -XX% ### Followers: XXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::701844034755633157/followers)  - X Week XXXXXX +0.17% - X Month XXXXXX +1% - X Months XXXXXX +10% - X Year XXXXXX +5% ### CreatorRank: XXXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::701844034755633157/influencer_rank)  ### Social Influence [#](/creator/twitter::701844034755633157/influence) --- **Social category influence** [countries](/list/countries) XXX% [stocks](/list/stocks) XXXX% [social networks](/list/social-networks) XXXX% [technology brands](/list/technology-brands) XXXX% **Social topic influence** [cvs](/topic/cvs) 1.72%, [without a](/topic/without-a) 1.72%, [6 months](/topic/6-months) 1.72%, [latvia](/topic/latvia) 1.72%, [lithuania](/topic/lithuania) 1.72%, [surge](/topic/surge) 1.72%, [poland](/topic/poland) 1.72%, [slovenia](/topic/slovenia) 1.72%, [tiktok](/topic/tiktok) 1.72%, [care of](/topic/care-of) XXXX% **Top accounts mentioned or mentioned by** [@mamalovesjbiebs](/creator/undefined) [@togetherwemask](/creator/undefined) [@amethystarlight](/creator/undefined) [@socialobgyne](/creator/undefined) [@t_ruthr](/creator/undefined) [@lieslmcconchie](/creator/undefined) [@covidsafe2025](/creator/undefined) [@lucyveepee](/creator/undefined) [@ghhughes](/creator/undefined) [@ariccio](/creator/undefined) [@noxygen](/creator/undefined) [@noquakquak](/creator/undefined) [@karenstrine3](/creator/undefined) [@cbrzeszczot](/creator/undefined) [@ashcaker](/creator/undefined) [@dbdugger](/creator/undefined) [@speakoutnow16](/creator/undefined) [@corbie25](/creator/undefined) [@emcmcdonald](/creator/undefined) [@acrossthemersey](/creator/undefined) **Top assets mentioned** [CVS Health Corp (CVS)](/topic/cvs) ### Top Social Posts [#](/creator/twitter::701844034755633157/posts) --- Top posts by engagements in the last XX hours "This is my qualitative gist-level interpretation of wastewater SARS-CoV-2 levels in the Europe.
