A hidden BA.2.12.1 #covid wave in New England

Adjusting official cases with our @outbreaksnearme rapid test estimates, we find 3.5 times greater number of daily cases.

We now see 5 positive home tests for every 2 positive PCR or other lab tests.

[Autumn Gertz @AutumnGertz]

@GlacialMeg Congratulations 🎉

[John Brownstein @johnbrownstein]

NEW – We estimate that starting this week more people are receiving positive #covid results from at-home tests than from other types tests (eg PCR)

We surveyed 474k people to assess testing habits and extrapolated to US population

Suggests need for augmenting case surveillance

[John Brownstein @johnbrownstein]

Our new study in @CDCMMWR on use of at-home #covid tests

Online survey of 400k+ U.S. adults (08/21-03/22)

At-home testing rose rapidly with #omicron

Most common among White adults, ages 30-39 and income >$150k

Highlights the need for equitable access
