Advocacy opportunity 📣 The Metro Vancouver region has a survey seeking input on their 2027 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan.

Metro Vancouver deals with things like wastewater, air quality, regional planning, providing below-market rental housing and more. (Note that they don’t just serve Vancouver - they serve many municipalities, which are listed in the survey.)

Take the survey until March 27, and be sure to let them know that you care about:

- wastewater testing / monitoring for communicable diseases
- air quality improvements, including indoor air quality and aligning building codes with up-to-date air quality standards like ASHRAE 241!

Take the survey: https://engage.zencity.io/metrovancouver/en/engagements/f9f277fa-e5da-4654-8df3-faa38cc4d4bf

Apologies, this screen interface had me misinterpreting.

Yes, they're acting as if there were no reasonable ways to reduce or prevent deaths and injuries from Covid.

Public Health Ontario published its COVID-19 wastewater surveillance update today. Since July, there has been a substantial increase in the viral signal for Ontario.

SARS-CoV-2 is spreading like wildfire now, but there won’t be another report until mid-January.

@ferricoxide @w7voa

I expect that there is a fair bit of extrapolation, not county-by-county granularity for the data.

A recent JAMA article cites "268 counties in 22 states from January to September 2022".

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2807632

I'm lucky to be in California's Santa Clara County, which has been publishing COVID-19 detected in wastewater for a while already.

Welp, for some reason it seems my county has stopped sending #COVID #WastewaterMonitoring data to #Biobot. Cool to know that keeping ourselves safe is entirely up to personal responsibility and also we're just gonna shut down the last tool we had to calculate personal risk tolerance. Nifty. Neat.

#WastewaterMonitoring could act as pandemic early warning system
well, ahem, we already knew that in the first year of Covid. Many authorities didn't want early warning and preferred to wait and see if it really gets that bad.

ruh-roh. #Covid levels in #WastewaterMonitoring have tripled this month and are on a steep increase.

Damn it. #LosAngeles. Just wear your damned masks.

The #CDC will now start relying on the number of people being hospitalized for #COVID as an indicator of how much the virus is spreading. It will also continue to monitor and report how many people are dying from COVID as well as how often people are getting so sick they end up requiring care in emergency rooms. #WastewaterMonitoring for the virus will provide additional crucial metrics. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/05/1174112653/cdc-to-change-how-it-reports-covid-information-and-stop-reporting-new-cases

#WastewaterMonitoring numbers are still fairly low for #SoCal...

But... #Covid and #HMPV are starting to go up again.

RSV and influenza A are both non-detectable.

Way to go #LosAngeles!

#Covid - very low and decreasing

#WastewaterMonitoring in #LosAngeles shows #Covid levels low & continue a slow decline. Still no #Flu at all. #RSV steady at low levels. #HMPV and #norovirus have had significant declines from peak levels, but still somewhat high.

I wonder if the endless parade of storms equates to fewer public interactions on a scale significant enough to influence viral transmissions.

#LosAngeles #WasteWaterMonitoring

#covid levels steady ish.
#flu non-existent.
#HMPV really spiking
#Norovirus still rather high but mostly steady.
