Real GDP has to shrink for it to be a recession. GDP in the United States is currently growing strongly. The Conference Board is not predicting a recession in the U.S. in 2022, and they just updated their forecasts a few days ago.
Last quarter was -1.4% growth, so probably not growing strongly (but who knows, maybe just a blip...)

A more pessimistic view gives +1% for Q2: https://www.atlantafed.org/-/media/documents/cqer/researchcq...
This is typically an accurate measure.
By the way the official declaration by the U.S. bureaucracies of the onset of a recession typically lags the actual onset by a year or so.
