2/2 #Wastewater testing was stopped in my county > a year ago and we are flying in the dark. CDC says to mask when community levels are high, but how is anyone to know?
It’s imperative that you continue #wastewater testing throughout the country--and preferably that you expand it. #Covid #surveillance #Biobot

Wastewater #COVID numbers soared in late summer ahead of possible fall wave...

#Biobot Analytics reports the amount of Covid in #wastewater rose sharply from July to August -- more than doubling nationally, from about 240 copies per milliliter to more than 500 copies. That is still a relatively low number, said Cristin Young, MPH, PhD, an #epidemiologist with Biobot -- with levels in July five times lower than what Biobot measured the same time last year.

TBD

New #biobot #covid sewage data is out for the #Boston metro area covering another week of data (through Tues 1/17). Sadly the downward trend stalled out so is no longer declining. I really hope the decline continues as it did last year so that dining out becomes safe enough again. But anecdotally from our school there's still lots of transmission, so keep masking up!

Here's your periodic reminder that the #COVID #wastewater numbers published for Eastern #Massachusetts by #Biobot based on #MWRA #DeerIsland samples are lowered by rain, because rainwater mixes in with the sewage and dilutes the samples.
If it rains through Friday then the numbers will be lowered at least through Sunday while they catch up processing the increased wastewater flow caused by the rain.
TLDR the surge is even worse than what you see on https://www.mwra.com/biobot/biobotdata.htm for the next week.

@radsci #ThankYou
So appreciate these links🖤🖤🖤
It’s going to take time to figure out how to interpret #data, but I’m pretty decent at figuring out #patterns :)

“The C.D.C. Isn’t Publishing Large Portions of the Covid Data It Collects”

This is from 2/20/2022 however couldn’t be more #current & #relevant they, #PublicHealth are hiding #COVID #data more than ever. #NY the #bellweather state has stopped #comprehensive #wastewater data since 6/8/2022!!

Not a #conspiracytheory
Go check #biobot yourself🌈

One thing I wish could be standardized on the #biobot #wastewater tracking site is the scale of these graphs... that way it's easier to compare locations at a glance. #covid #CovidIsNotOver

why is there #biobot #wastewater #data points in NY for ONLY the dates before the July 2022 surge & exactly right after?

This is #LivingWithCovid #endemic #DontLookUp #policy
