Would be curious to hear thoughts from you all who have been thinking about the related issues Jeff raised earlier (albeit with the trend in the opposite direction).
Not in Boston in particular, because we have good wastewater monitoring, but yes, this ( and just generally people testing less ) would worry me with microcovid numbers elsewhere.
A friend raised concerns that as people are increasingly using at-home tests instead of PCR, the data sources for microCOVID are underreporting risk.
Detailed her concerns further here:
