English Synonyms and Antonyms
circulate
To announce is to give intelligence of in some formal or public way. We may announce that which has occurred or that which is to occur, tho the word is chiefly used in the anticipative sense; we announce a book when it is in press, a guest when he arrives. We advertise our business, communicate our intentions, enunciate our views; we notify an individual, give notice to the public. Declare has often an authoritative force; to declare war is to cause war to be, where before there may have been only hostilities; we say declare war, proclaim peace. We propound a question or an argument, promulgate the views of a sect or party, or the decision of a court, etc. We report an interview, reveal a secret, herald the coming of some distinguished person or great event. Publish, in popular usage, is becoming closely restricted to the sense of issuing through the press; we announce a book that is to be published.

How to use circulate in a sentence?
They break off from the larger text and circulate like little viruses in our culture that hook on to other things and that's when they really take off and spread.
What's different now is that there are so many more nodes for the distribution of propaganda, we have the problem that we always have on social media of having too much information and not being able to sort through that and filter it to say what is real and what is not real. One thing that we always observe when there's a crisis or a natural disaster is that people will circulate content that they know is fake.
We are definitely seeing an uptick in both infections over the last week, we are starting to see a slow and steady trickle of an increase of cases. And why is that ? Well, because this is the time of year when we typically start to see influenza begin to circulate.
Although delta continues to circulate widely in the United States, omicron is increasing rapidly and we expect it to become the dominant strain in the United States – as it has in other countries – in the coming weeks, we've seen cases of omicron among those who are both vaccinated and boosted and we believe these cases are milder or asymptomatic because of vaccine protection.
I promise you as the season goes on, there are other strains circulating or will circulate as we get in January and February, although the vaccine is not perfect, it is still pretty good.
