We surpassed 4,000 sites today even w/ removing some sites with inactive links! Note that we keep site points even if they stopped monitoring as long as the website is active (since sometimes they reactivate). Also added more dashboards. More to come soon including new countries.

I still think important for those doing the hard work of monitoring in different locations to be able to publish their work with more data points, otherwise their service during the pandemic goes largely un valued in academia and the bar gets higher and higher to publish.

Hey

hive mind...Any thoughts on the omicron sub variant (BA.2) and what this may mean for wastewater monitoring for omicron? Similar enough? Too early to tell?
No one seems to know what BA.2 means for the world. I'm not aware of any studies on it, but I hope they come out soon. It seems apparent BA.2 will become dominant everywhere before longโas it already has in Denmark.

Used cooking oil and grease does not go down the sink. Allow to cool and throw away in the trash. The oil and grease clogs pipes, harms our pipes, and exposes wastewater workers having to fix the clogs.
Wastewater can be a more equitable public health tool but there are still disparities (72% in High Income Countries) and potentially more disparities w/in those countries. We still need to do an in-depth equity analysis for WBE. Also ~20% Americans are not connected to sewer sys.

Could Delta cause large increase in fecal shedding per clinical case? Anyone have any data? Put another way, could massive (15x) 5 day increase in community WW VCL be caused by increased shedding per case as well as increase in cases? Any info appreciated ASAP.
