Eh, I don't trust this. This is going to be pretty much entirely because a lot of people consider anything related to COVID to be "science", no matter what it is. The crackpot who is injecting bleach is going to say they heard about that from "science". The person who heard about the latest variant is going to say they heard some science news.

It's not like people are suddenly more interested in meteorology or physics.

And? It's an American news article. Why would it NOT be about the US? And OP posted it saying "we", which is factually true no matter how you slice it. So you COULD have gone with the interpretation of "Well, it's true for everyone." But you decided to go with the interpretation that could let you complain about it, instead.
