Hi, these are 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 is low. The last 7DRA calculation was on 6/2.

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 https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. 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

A screencap of the Washington State Department of Health's Covid wastewater data for the West Point Wastewater Treatment Plant. The trend line of the graph is described in the toot text.

I still wear an N95 mask when I'm indoors at work, at the grocery store, etc. I don't mind being the only one with a mask, and I don't generally get any pushback. The other night I was working at a public outreach event indoors at a museum, wearing my mask. One attendee was holding his baby, and I started talking to the baby, saying "I bet I look funny to you because of my mask." The father responded "You look safe." That was a way more positive reaction than he might have given. #Covid #mask

God dammit, I mask 100% of the time when I'm outside the house! I don't even dip my mask to drink water when I'm outside!

Covid test. Positive.

3 years ago today, we lost my Dad. We've never recovered from that traumatic loss. Dad suffered a premature death due to unmasked people in hospital, where he was infected with covid. That set off latent TB, which he recovered from in hospital. The covid infection he never fully recovered from. It damaged his heart, which didn't have issues prior to covid infection. That led to his long covid cardiac arrest death.

This is one of the big reasons I'm vigilant about masking up & get upset at folks who stopped masking & are enabling more eugenics in our communities. I lost my Dad because of reckless unmasked people. I have one Aunt disabled from long covid & in a wheelchair. How many more lives need to sacrificed for eugenics, inhumane public health & basic lack of concern for others?

We are having quiet, family ceremonies for my Dad's memorial, today ❤️💗❤️
Love is infinite.

'Oversterfte tijdens de coronapandemie betrof vooral ouderen en mannen'

"Tijdens de eerste jaren van de coronapandemie (2020 en 2021) zijn in Nederland ruim 13.000 extra mensen overleden die 65 jaar of ouder waren. […] Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) onder bijna 3,8 miljoen mensen."

"De oversterfte hing duidelijk samen met coronabesmettingen en piekte op de momenten dat het aantal besmettingen hoog was. Tussen de golven door was de sterfte soms juist lager dan verwacht."

"Na de start van de vaccinatiecampagne in 2021 hadden gevaccineerde mensen na besmetting een veel lagere kans op overlijden dan besmette mensen zonder vaccinatie."
