apparently more than a third of voters in the US are now holocaust deniers? and 41% think 9/11 was an inside job.

these numbers came from the trump loving, christopher rufo paying, super right wing Manhattan Institute. this is not a liberal pollster.

      COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

What makes COVID different?
• It can breach the blood–brain barrier
• It can damage your endothelial lining and increase clot risk
• It can persist in tissues
• It can lower key immune cells
• It may increase cancer risk
• You can catch it multiple times per year
These are not “normal cold virus” behaviors.’

            Hi, these are the weekly (that is, and environs) toots.

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

            So ... the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant is back with data, but it's the only King County site that is reporting this week. WSPT's 7-day running average is pretty low, but since there wasn't data for this site last week, it's hard to get a directional sense. Last data was calculated on 11/25.

            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

              Nice. I don't think I'd noticed before that Illinois Wastewater Surveillance System (iwss.uillinois.edu/) shows 4 years of genomic sequencing data for the monitored plants across Illinois - and if you select individual treatment plants you can get that data for different areas of the state (radio button at the top right of the graph, defaults to concentration but you can change to genomic).

              I love living in a state that takes public health and science seriously.

                I've been wanting a CO2 monitor for a long time. (As a virus monitoring proxy: my heart condition is most like a result of , and I'm fairly anxious to avoid getting it again.)

                I finally got around to ordering a sensor (SCD40) plus some CircuitPython microcontrollers, and got a basic monitor up and running in a few hours. Fun! Now I just have to build some sort of case to make it easier to carry around.

                A small microcontroller with a display, with a sensor and a battery attached, all hanging off a USB-C cable and sitting on top of an anti-static bag. 
The display reads:
CO2: 470 ppm
Temp: 77 F           BAT
Hum:  18%             65%
The microcontroller has several buttons on it and the notation: ESP32 S3 Rev TFT Feather. It's 2" long; the CO2 sensor is about 1/3 that size and they're connected by a 4-pin cable.

                      Good morning, welcome to the way-late weekly (that is, and environs) toots. The whole days-of-the-week thing got away from me this week.

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

                      Both the West Point (WSPT) and Brightwater (BWT) sewage treatment plants had placeholder 0.0 values this week, so no new data to report there. But the King County South sewage treatment did report in, and its seven day running average of Sars-Cov2 levels is nice and low. In fact, the 11/17 7DRA is the lowest recorded since fall of 2024, when this dataset began. It has climbed up a bit since then. Last data was calculated on 11/19.

                      There are three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset.
