I just got over it for the first time and my friend’s doctor in Burlington said they are seeing highest rates ever in the waste water monitoring in Burlington.

You're friend's doctor's info is a little out of date.

The January 17th data showed a big spike in waste water data

but by January 23rd it was back to..."normal" I guess.

https://vtdigger.org/2023/02/01/vermonts-overall-covid-levels-remain-low-as-burlington-wastewater-data-returns-to-normal/

Case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths are all significantly below what they were this time last year or the year before.

That’s because no one is reporting it and less people are seeking care unless their symptoms are extreme.

And then the Jan 30 numbers show a continued upward trend, https://vtdigger.org/2023/02/08/vermont-surpasses-900-covid-deaths-while-state-levels-are-low/

Covid is the fourth leading cause of death behind heart disease, cancer, and things like ODs.

Ah, apologies, I missed that one. Its hard keep up with whether things are terrible or normal when it changes every week.
