‘Concerning’ levels of COVID-19 detected in Florida county wastewater, officials say
NY Post ^ | 08/17/2021 | Alexandria Hein, Fox News

Posted on 08/17/2021 8:25:09 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

Always wash yer paws.

But per the CDC, fomites aren't an issue with CoupFlu.

All that scrubbing ain't gonna help.

And for anyone interested, I'll just add this link...

“Oh noes! Even the water supply is infected!”

One of the best way to spread it is through contaminating the water and of course bring in a thousand of infected people and have them be part of several communities.... Can you say ILLEGALS WITH COVID?

UV kills anything with DNA or RNA. Why isn’t that being used.

My industry (real estate development, design, construction) has been brainstorming for over a year on what the post-covid built environment should look like.

Wastewater surveillance is probably one of the more high-impact things we can accommodate going forward in terms of pubic health. It’s cheap, easy to implement, and with the spread of individual blackwater systems for larger urban developments, could be highly localized. A very big ROI, as we like to say.

Why people think that these surveillance efforts are somehow attempts to show that the wastewater spreads the ‘rona is beyond me.

Well they want to put methane monitors on the cows.

This guy should be worried about much deadlier things than “coronaviruses” which include all influenza and the common cold etc.

Someone needs to ask this Utilities Director HOW they differentiate the actual Covid virus load in wastewater from any other CORONAVIRUS!

What test are they using in wastewater to make these grandiose claims about the “hospitalizations” that will be seen prognosticating from untreated sewer water intake. That is beyond amazingly STUPID commentary. And... politicizing and shaping “science” non-facts for a goal.

exposure to feces or wastewater has never been implicated as a transmission vector

I suppose they don't refer here to hepatitis, bacterial infections, parasites etc...

Please. Read what it says

Okay...

In partnership with the CDC in “wastewater surveillance” of RNA from SARS-Cov-19?!!!-—— JUST HOW are they differentiating the RNA from the coronavirus Covid from 1.)any other coronavirus, of which there are HUNDREDS, 2.) RNA from inside a virus virion coating which is NOT the S-Protein spike protein that is “tested” in human swabs.

RNA from the actual virus is detected HOW in wastewater, Mr. Torres. Who then advocates for “vaccination” as a medical specialist— This is a political crapola statement from a CDC “partner”.

How can they quantify hospitalizations for true covid INFECTIONS from testing of bulk sewer wastewater that is sourced from.... everywhere-— INCLUDING animals!!! This is beyond ridiculous. NYPost needs detailed follow up with CDC on JUST HOW this is even possible to make direct comparisons from such disparate (fundamentally distinct and dissimilar) sources of the viral content or the S-Proteins they insist on use to prove it’s existence in human beings.

If this involves PCR testing (98% false positive for covid and undifferentiating from any other S-Protein), this is one more scam . On any given day BEFORE covid— the PCR if used would produce vast numbers of virus S protein positives!

That is for summer. The bioweapon, will bioweapon in the winter again. As is the cycle of things. Don’t smoke. Get in shape, and lose weight.

t’s concerning that more and more are developing natural immunity?

I'm a proponent of natural immunity. There is a big BUT right now about it. When you experience a bout of CoVID, un-'jabbed', do you still get the spikes in the endothelial layer of blood vessels? They will cause microscopic blood clots, adding stress to the heart and premature failure over time. Why hasn't the CDC told us how to get rid of the 'spikes' they fail to recognize from failure to do autopsies?

Imagine that. I’m sure all kinds of viruses are found in water.

Still more evidence the COVID is being spread fecal to oral.

Remember about a year ago when there were a few quickly buried stories about communities in the New England states that were going to start testing sewerage for COVID?

Let that sink in.

Now consider this: In many States (Pennsylvania and Ohio for sure) the mask mandates were explicit that those in restaurants MUST wear a mask INTO THE RESTROOM where of course that cloth will absorb all toilet odors and other zhit.

Let that sink in.

Then the patron MUST wear the zhit laden mask back into the restaurant so that with every exhale the patrons innocently eating pancakes can get a dose of the restroom zhit.

Let that sink in.

Think this is an overactive imagination?

Interesting.

I don’t recall coming across any info on fomites.

Didn't they try this 💩 somewhere else , (using the "concerning" levels of CCP virus in the waste water as reason for shut down), but, shockingly, it turned out "they" were lying about it?
