“A summer covid wave” has cases increasing ”in at least 84 countries despite perceptions that the pathogen is a remnant of the past.” Diminished testing, vaccinations and restrictions are making it hard to precisely chart the surge and likely exacerbating it. For example, testing was pervasive at the Tokyo Games, but at the Paris Games (where dozens of athletes are known to have come down with covid), “people who tested positive are competing, there are no testing requirements, and spectators are back in attendance.”
