Health officials in Florida’s Orange County said there has been a 600 percent increase in the levels of COVID-19 RNA concentration detected in the area’s wastewater since sampling began in mid-May. Speaking at a press conference held Monday, the county’s utility director called the numbers “very high” and “very concerning.”
“Again, the results of the virus RNA that we measure in wastewater indicate that we will see continued clinical cases and hospitalizations this week, even beyond what was reported this weekend,” Ed Torres, director of Orange County Utilities, said. “Please, we urge you to get vaccinated and continue to take the proper precautions.”

It’s concerning that more and more are developing natural immunity?
Pooper spreaders
So now the sewage needs to be vaccinated?
Our analysis also suggests the likelihood of infection due to contact with sewage-contaminated water (e.g. swimming, surfing, angling) or food (e.g. salads, shellfish) is extremely low or negligible based on very low predicted abundances and limited environmental survival of SARS-CoV-2. These conclusions are corroborated by the fact that tens of million cases of COVID-19 have occurred globally, but exposure to feces or wastewater has never been implicated as a transmission vector.
Now they are going to require everyone mask their ass.
“continued clinical cases and hospitalizations”
Cases and Hospitalization always lag new cases. New Cases appear to be going down. In a week or two cases and hospitalization should start to go data if the reported data is correct. The USA has peak like the UK, fear not.
It infects the GI tract. Of course there will be positive results when testing waste water.
It’s all propaganda all the time so I’m sure there’s a sleight of hand to get the fear headline of six times more.
Florida and DeSantis are the Minustry of Truth’s current targets.
Please. Read what it says and analyze the issue with your God given brain
If we have a repository of samples this lends credence to the fact that Covid is way up in Florida which it happenes to be. There is no question we are at the top or just across the peak of the wave in southeast Florida.
This also correlates with the more contagious variant with an R0 of > 8.0
This is a very good look at where on the curve we are as well as epidemiological survey.
But I suppose this kind of analysis is harder and requires more thinking than a quick cheap joke and conspiracy.
How long does Rona survive in wastewater?
Kinda like the concentration of antibioticsin the water supply ?
That’s some sick shit
My perspective is, “so”. This kind of “facts” is used to convince people that AGW is a real thing and going to have massive impacts if we don’t “DO SOMETHING”.
I compare the death stats demographically.
My take: Meh.
Add more chlorine at the wastewater treatment plants.
Well they just have to heat up the shite to kill the virus.. and all the other viruses present in wastewater. Virus protein destroyed— virus non communicable. They do this every day, chemically with designed well established protocols— at least in modern water treatment. This guy is trying to scare people— and he better not allow any sewer spills on his watch if he believes this is a ‘transmission’ modality. Their N95 masks are useless against any coronavirus so there is that for his workersl
This Torres clown is a Utilities Director— not a clinician. Can’t derive ONE iota of prognostication about HOSPITALIZATIONS evidenced by the viral load in wastewater! That’s off the page NUTS! A political operative trying to look important... and frankly full of the shite he processes every day. Complete bull/human.
Decay of infectious SARS-CoV-2 and surrogates in aquatic environments
We demonstrated that infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 decreases rapidly in filter-sterilised river and seawater water, particularly at higher temperatures. The data therefore suggest that river water and seawater contaminated with sewage containing faecal matter from SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals is unlikely to contain high levels of infectious virus due to the rapid inactivation of the virus in these matrices.
Yes.
Washing hands and wiping down surfaces is more effective than their precious masks.
New York for example did not even begin wiping down their subway trains until June last year.
Their mismanagement of the subway drove the New York City region epidemic.
Oh noes! Even the water supply is infected!
I’m sure that the hundreds of border jumpers shipped in during the past 6 weeks have nothing to do with this, right? After all, they were all tested and vaccinated..., Right???
