#Covid in wastewater in my county just spiked this past week.

We're up to about a third of the huge #omicron wave back in 2021/22.

It's double what it was a week or so ago.

No idea if anyone is testing sequencing to see if this is #XBB or #Eris, the new rising variant.

I'm constantly amazed at our incompetence for handling things that can actually make us sick and die.

Wastewater surveillance highlights significant underestimation of COVID-19 cases in Canada.

The study findings suggest a 6.5- and 18.7-fold underestimation of COVID-19 cases at the peak of the fifth and sixth COVID-19 waves, respectively. Thus, wastewater data can be helpful in COVID-19 surveillance and local decision-making.

COVID-19: Wastewater surveillance indicates under-reporting of infections as hospitalisations increase.

WA Health officials have acknowledged a degree of under-reporting by COVID-19 infected West Australians.

#WashingtonState #WastewaterSurveillance is showing ZERO out of 24 stations reporting?!?

I hope this isn't a trend to convince us that #Covid is over because #CovidIsNotOver

100% of wastewater sites are reporting #Covid. It is literally everywhere.

Note: This map does not show the amount of virus not the increase/decrease.
