I'm keeping an eye on the current uptick in covid disease activity via wastewater data. Hopefully it isn't as large of a spike as we experienced with Omicron last time.

📈Update from our #COVID #wastewater dashboard—our national average is 25% higher than last week, now over 850 c/mL. This is 27.5% higher than this time in 2020, but lower than this time last year at the beginning of the Omicron surge. 1/2

A school near me has a clear, simple, data-driven mask policy. When wastewater levels above a threshold, high-quality masks required. They started year mask optional, required for a few weeks, now back to optional. Not complicated, protective but not restrictive. It can be done.

Water and wastewater infrastructure is #PublicHealth You may not see it, but it protects you and your family every day. And as

the left jar is what comes in. the right jar is what goes out. this happens every day. around the clock. tens of millions of gallons. the work of hundreds of people. hundreds of miles of infrastructure. generations of investment. for which you pay 2¢ a gallon. two. cents.

close-up photo of a man’s work-gloved hand holding a glass jar of cloudy brown sewage, full of floating solid debris and other awfulness I’m sure.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic we had to try very hard to fit the wastewater observations to the clinical. But now it seems the tide is changing. In the future the clinical picture may have to fit what we observe via wastewater. The recent Monkeypox and polio are examples.

The folks I work with are amazing! I leave on vacation for a few weeks, we get a polio case in Rockland County, New York, and the team supports the response, facilitating wastewater surveillance and rapid understanding of the threat.
