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.

Good news: it looks like the data collection and posting cadence is back on track. The DoH even backfilled the missing data.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average of its detected Sars-CoV-2 is up a bit. The last calculation was made on 1/6.

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.

Frage: Weiß jemand, wann der #AMELAG - Bericht des @RKI wieder aktualisiert wird? Die letzten Aktualisierung war am 16.12.2025!

Mich würde schon interessieren, wie sich #COVID über die Weihnachtsferien entwickelt hat...

It's Darwinian... #covid

#Washington␁ul acuză #Berlin␁ul de procese „politice” împotriva medicilor și pacienților.
Cazurile au legătură cu scutirile pentru purtarea mășții date în pandemia de 🦠#COVID-19.

Forcing the vote came about after a handful of #Republicans signed on to a so-called “discharge petition” to unlock debate, bypassing objections from #House Speaker #MikeJohnson. The bill now goes to the #Senate, where pressure is building for a similar bipartisan compromise.
The rare political coalitions are rushing to resolve the standoff over enhanced #TaxCredits put in place during the #COVID-19 crisis but expired late last year after no agreement was reached during the government #shutdown.

1️⃣ Be young and in prime health.
2️⃣ Get COVID-19. (Mild or completely asymptomatic)
3️⃣ Find out if you're in the 25% that develop Long COVID

A peer-reviewed 2024 study in The Lancet Regional Health Americas found that out of 899 young and healthy Marines, a fourth of them went on to develop Long COVID after infection. Most of those people had mild symptoms in the up-front infection stage, and over a third of them hadn’t felt sick at all — one of the aspects I find most chilling about the virus.

Turns out that in 2026, one of the healthiest choices a person can make is to cut out respiratory disease! Which means wearing a well-fitting N95 or better in shared air!

#Boston #CovidConscious peeps…
I didn't realize we were running out of KN95 ear-loop masks and ordered more later than I should have, and now the store I ordered them from cancelled the order, so we're going to run out before I can get more delivered. Anybody know where in #BostonMA or adjacent communities I can buy them in person?
I need the fold-flat masks with ear loops and a bendable nose-piece, they're the only ones my son can wear.
Thanks!

Hi, these are (usually) the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. But alas, there haven't been any updates with current data.

One thing I did notice was that the data for the three King County sites for the third and fourth weeks of December, which were previously missing, are now backfilled. I imagine this is all due to the holidays, but I really don't have a clue about what's going on here.

I just contacted someone about the possibility of working together. As far as I can tell, he, too, is of the political left. He wrote back that he doesn't want to work with someone who still masks in indoor settings. He's not the first person to have told me that. In case you were wondering why some of us prefer to stay home and keep to ourselves. #Health #Covid #CovidIsNotOver
