Australia hit record highs last week, so did Canada.

But at the same time, the more you test the more you find. Pre-Omnicron, most people I know never tested if they got sick, as long as it didn't feel like more than a cold.

Test positivity rates are through the roof, and wastewater sampling also indicates a huge surge of infections. I don't think this can be that easily dismissed as an artifact of testing.
