the virus levels in waste water, all of those are up between 10 to 20% over the last week of data. what s really important to put into context is that is off of the lowest base we ve seen since the beginning of the pandemic. if you look at waste water data from biobot, you can see just there at the end, that little blue uptick is the sort of beginning of a potential surge we re talking about. and experts say even in these data and waste water levels, this is a leading indicator, and they re even starting to see that slow and perhaps even start to level off. we done know if this is really going to become something any bigger. why and how does the heat play in? the heat does seem to potentially have an effect on covid cycles. we ve seen this in previous summers, where there has been a bump in cases. it s braecause people are so ho they re driven inside, and they re spreading covid. people are traveling a lot more right now. and a lot of us haven t had a

early warning system, shows 30% of sites across the u.s. reported covid positive samples increased at least 1,000% in recent weeks. what we know is that waste water data tends to preced infection case identification that we tend to see, kind of when people go get tested. and we are seeing an increase in waste water data. by the way, we re seeing increases of infection in europe. just a reminder, this pandemic is not over. i don t expect a major surge or a major spike out of this, but we may see an increase in cases and we re going to have to see where this goes. reporter: overseas, covid is resurging. china is battling its biggest outbreak since the beginning of the pandemic. imposing new lockdowns for 51 million people. and european countries are now tracking a new spike in covid cases, fueled in part by the omicron sub variant, ba.2. in europe, we ve seen an uptick of cases across almost all of the countries of europe, really driven by a couple of
