Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #covid19, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Greetings, here are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

    A reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

    For the last couple of weeks I’ve been highlighting the terrible SARS-CoV2 concentration numbers from the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. Well, things got better, by a lot. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 9/8.

    WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

    By Lauren Roberts

    Only some people will continue to get the COVID-19 vaccination for free after October 1. Here's what the changes mean for you.

  4. Galloylquinic acids extracted from the leaves of *Copaifera lucens*, a large evergreen tree of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, kills the Covid-19 virus *in vitro*, and also inhibits its ability to enter cells and replicate. The multiple mechanisms of viral inhibition may reduce the virus' ability to evolve to escape all the effects.
