Hello! 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 5/26.

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

Katelyn Jetelina, aka Your Local Epidemiologist, has a newsletter out with an update on #covid #COVID19 vaccines and what’s known (and not known) about fall availability. There’s also a reminder for people who are eligible for a spring booster.

'Onderszoeksinstelling TNO rectificeert passages uit rapport over postcovid na kritiek van patiënten'

"In het rapport van TNO stond dat revalidatieprogramma’s in combinatie met gecombineerde leefstijlfactoren „kansrijk” lijken voor postcovid-patiënten. Voorbeelden van leefstijlfactoren die worden genoemd zijn cognitieve gedragstherapie, voeding en zogeheten body-mind therapie. In het daadwerkelijke onderzoek staat dat er „geen enkel bewijs” beschikbaar is voor de werking van body-mind therapieën.

Voor het effect van voeding is het bewijs „beperkt en gefragmenteerd”. Ook bij cognitieve gedragstherapie zijn slechts ‘beperkte aanwijzingen’ gevonden."

"I often hear people writing about how they are waiting for a big, dramatic event that changes everything - and of course, those events do happen. But the people saying that often have lived through a dozen of those events in the last few years... and often barely noticed them and the radical shifts in society that accompanied them."

Well, I do believe this is a first since #Covid #Wastewater data has been collected...

Los Angeles Hyperion plant has detected ZERO covid!!

Looks like the only thing really going around locally is Rotavirus. Norovirus is on the rise nationwide but low in SoCal.
