oof yeah, 44% of the wastewater surveillance sites (currently our best indicator after hospitalizations/deaths for COVID community transmission levels) that the CDC receives info from are in that 80-100% bucket. (dug a little deeper into their metrics for ww surveillance, basically it's like a percentile of the individual ww surveillance sites previous data, so can be a bit inaccurate but is a best possible measure from such a broad epidemiological surveillance data source). yikes.

big rip to the east part of the US rn
