Agree, needs more sauce. I'm still watching atm, he also talks about the waste water surveillance the CDC is doing, which he says they didn't share right away, which is at least something to try and verify. Seems it is true, I don't know if they initially hid it or not though.
National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS)
A new public health tool to understand COVID-19's spread in a community
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CDC launched the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) in September 2020. CDC developed NWSS to coordinate and build the nation’s capacity to track the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in wastewater samples collected across the country.
CDC’s NWSS works with health departments to track SARS-CoV-2 levels in wastewater so communities can act quickly to prevent the spread of COVID-19. NWSS is transforming independent local efforts into a robust, sustainable national surveillance system.
Wastewater surveillance can provide an early warning of COVID-19’s spread in communities.
People infected with SARS-CoV-2 can shed the virus in their feces, even if they don’t have symptoms. The virus can then be detected in wastewater, enabling wastewater surveillance to capture presence of SARS-CoV-2 shed by people with and without symptoms. This allows wastewater surveillance to serve as an early warning that COVID-19 is spreading in a community. Once health departments are aware, communities can act quickly to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Data from wastewater testing support public health mitigation strategies by providing additional crucial information about the prevalence of COVID-19 in a community.
Data from wastewater testing are meant to complement existing COVID-19 surveillance systems by providing:
An efficient community sample
Data for communities where timely COVID-19 clinical testing is underused or unavailable
Data for different communities within a county

Wastewater Surveillance
COVID-19: Wastewater Surveillance
Communities can track the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in wastewater samples. These data can provide an early warning of COVID-19’s spread in communities. For more information, visit the Wastewater Surveillance System page.
Monitoring Wastewater Surveillance Data
Wastewater surveillance for COVID-19 is a rapidly developing field. State, tribal, local, and territorial health departments participating in the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) submit testing data to CDC. CDC then interprets and standardizes these data and presents them in the COVID Data Tracker. How often sites collect wastewater samples and how frequently data are reported to CDC varies by health department.
Wastewater data are meant to be used with other COVID-19 surveillance data to better understand COVID-19’s spread in a community. Learn more about wastewater data by exploring each of the charts and maps.
