  1. Metro Vancouver wastewater COVID surveillance data was published August 6. The most recent test was July 29. #covid #covid19 #wastewater #vancouver #yvr

  2. July #COVID #wastewater counts are out for #NYC, and there's a slight increase, confirming the slight increase in case counts and emergency room visit percentages. Case counts for #flu and #RSV are also rising slightly.

    The city is reporting 10 #COVID19 cases per lakh residents, far below my threshold of 60 per lakh for Outbreak Mode, so no action yet. And we're almost to 4 months without a COVID death!

    #COVIDIsNotOver so #WearAMask in pharmacies and doctors offices to prevent a summer wave!

  11. Got a good soaking on my bike ride this morning. Even though there is an agglomeration wide ban on irrigation, farmers ignore the ban, and twice I had to cycle through a wall of water turning the road into a river.

    One was worse than the other as the unit was stuck and a third of the water went directly onto the road, a third into the empty field across the road and the balance must have drowned any plants caught in the torrent.

  13. Hello, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

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

    The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels went down a bit and then went up a bit. The last data are from 7/21.

    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

  16. I'm happy to report that the #washingtonstate #covid #covid19 #wastewater site is being updated again, yay. It's been down due to a supplier issue since early June.

    Let's start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels is up above the nice low baseline level we were enjoying this spring. The last data is from 7/14.

  18. dreamed that i got a job with the people who kept the wastewater system running at a fancy private school. their homebase was in the sub-basement and it was a wonky crew of weirdos. the system was expensive and ran well (because it was a private school), but there was still work to do. i was sort of an apprentice, where they were doing different things and i had to assist and watch.

    in the dream, i was like "this is a great job." it felt almost like being in a hackerspace. i liked being in the guts of the system. i liked seeing the students. i liked that i wasn't responsible for a huge system i didn't understand, but that there were competent people who i could train under (i've had a lot of jobs where i've sort of been thrust into work that was way above my abilities, and i was not able to perform. so having a job where my abilities can actually match expectations is like...a dream).

    so yea, that's my dream self's idea of a great job 😆
