What wastewater surveillance currently tells us about COVID
The hill ^ | 06/01/2022 | Chia-Yi Hou

The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, even though many may have started acting like the emergency has passed. A key tool in tracking the pandemic has been wastewater surveillance, especially when case counts and testing numbers have become less reliable with more people using rapid tests and testing access becoming more limited again.

Oh it was almost certainly created. Someone screwed up.

As for an animal virus jumping to humans and humans therefore having no defense, it seems less credible — though make no mistake, the sheer number of people and animals have hugely increased the statistics of this happening and generating some sort of 90% mortality disaster.

COVID is endemic - yet many morons in my part of the country keep wearing the face nappies.

I stopped giving a poop about COVID in April 2021. At this point it is a cold for most of us.

I keep hearing cases are six times higher then last year at this time.

The Mrs. contracted CCP virus on Friday May 20th. (Symptoms appeared that day…) Headache, sore throat, no fever and some body aches… We are both unjabbed… (I contracted CCP virus December 30th of last year. I toughed it out with some NyQuil, hot soup and lots of liquids.) We go to church every Sunday and many in our Sunday school/church have been hit with it in the last few weeks. Unfortunately I was awakened by a noise at midnight on Sunday the 22nd. She was lying on the bathroom floor… She was conscious but dazed. She was able to describe how she went to the bathroom and then felt nauseous and bent over to open the commode lid and then that is when she fainted. That is the first time she ever fainted. Well - what to do. The big worry was that her fingers had stiffened up. We did the Stroke prelim check all good. With the stiffened fingers she decided to go to the hospital so I drove her to the emergency room. We arrived at 12:30AM ish… It was a ghost town in the ER. We are in a metro area of 300,000+ people. Walked right in straight up to the admittance desk. Her injury from fainting was that she had fallen on her face and was bruised above the eye and on the cheek. We had already done the CCP home test and told ER nurse that she was CCP positive and that is where they informed me that I could not go in to the ER with her. No surprise there. Anyway to make a short story long… they did every test. Blood work ups: CCP Positive, LOW Vitamin D. D-Dimer normal. EEG, MRI, EKG found some abnormality to where she is now on a 30 day heart monitor. Because she fell and hit her head they wanted to monitor for a day. So she stayed through Monday night and came home Tuesday AM. All recovered and testing negative on the home test after 10 days.

Keep up on your vitamin d and zinc! We have heard this over and over. The Mrs. is 63. I have to admit the hospital drive was spooky knowing that how they could treat her could make the difference between life and death. Before leaving our home to the ER I gave her a choice between two hospitals. She chose the good one apparently. As an “unvaxxed” patient I wasn’t sure where that was going to go. It seems like the word has to be getting out on the damage the jab is doing to people. We didn’t get any kick back for being one of the “unclean unvaxxed”… The only part of the visit I was uncomfortable with was a daily injection of Lovenox to “prevent” blood clots for their patients that are having to lie down all day. She was given one Sunday and one Monday and we were outta there on the Tuesday. As to others accounts on this thread the CCP virus is spreading. I had my covid in December and was around the Mrs. unmasked the entire time when I had it and she was unmasked when I had it. I did nothing special during her covid these past few weeks - I thought about giving her a big French kiss but I quickly came to my senses and didn’t want to test my immunity levels after five months! This is one person’s experience with the state of CCP virus in May of 2022.

My granddaughter has been sick for 3 weeks and those lying useless Covid1984 tests kept returning “positive”.

Get and read the test results.

I was tested "positive" earlier this year. I have seasonal bronchial asthma. Every spring leaf mold and I go a round and the leaf mold wins. It happens every year about the same time and it acts in the same way but doctor scheduler insisted that I get tested before I got an appointment or any treatment.

She then called me back and said "Covid, no treatment for you!"

I am on-line so I read the test results. Something that she apparently neglected to do. It said "NO VIRUS FOUND" presumptive positive based on SYMPTOMS.

So because I was coughing my lungs out, (same as the last thirty years) I must have WuFlu.

I called the office up and tore into them. I told them if they check my records they would see I had had WuFlu every spring for the past 15 years. Did they really want to go there or were they going to call in my normal prescription because I did not have time to be sick.

Everybody needs to do this. Read your test results. Apparently reading comprehension is going by the wayside in medical field as well as everywhere else.

The virus has already been here-likely more than once-there is a city of about 24,000 32 miles North of here-and a city of of over 1 million people 50 miles South and East-anyone who doesn’t own a business/work here works in one or the other-with most folks working in the big city-SA-because the money is better-so we had the virus being tracked in and out of here every day from the beginning-probably why we locals got it early-from customers, neighbors and family members who worked in either SA or Kerrville. We have all been exposed if we are in business or have relatives working in the city.

People died early until there were reliable antibiotics, REAL vaccines for smallpox, etc-and more advanced surgical techniques to fix small problems so they didn’t get big and deadly-but natural living is always a good thing-I was raised in a remote area, in that lifestyle-it works for me and many other people. I’ve also lived off-grid-by choice, several times-in this state and in NM

This is a tourist area-weekend people in the Summer, snowbirds from as far away as Canada booking a cabin for 3-4 months in the Winter-we can’t really avoid exposure to stuff unless we want to shut the place down and go broke-what little shutdown we did do at first was costly enough-nobody is willing to shut down business again...

Holy moly!! I’m glad you checked that and found them to be wrong. Can you imagine all the people that just took the questionabale test as gospel? The tests for my GD were done by her dad, at home, and all were “positive”. They didn’t question it for a while.

That is crazy-a lot of people around here must have decided the tests are not very informative because as soon as it was advertised that you could get them mailed to you for free, people ordered them and started selling them at several stalls at the local flea market that all the tourists visit-at a greatly inflated price-they may not be any good for testing for the Wuhan, but at least you can sell them and make a little money...

no. but i worked in medical instrumentation.

it’s hard enough to get a single sample clean enough to do a valid pcr. wastewater? come on. use some common sense.

The spike protein was chosen initially because it’s distinctive with Covid and vaccine builders figured that they would have a good chance of success targeting it. Time to market was a factor influencing that decision too. It was a requirement of Operation Warp Speed.

There’s other C-19 proteins that aren’t mutating quickly like the spikes. 2nd generation vaccines target more than just the spike protein.

The spike protein wasn't chosen it's genome structure was fed to Moderna by the Chinese. Moderna had all it needed to know within hours once a team out of Shanghai published it.

Warp Speed is a failed marketing gimmick that belongs in a imaginary space ship not a in a fake vaccine.

Yes there are other c-19 proteins that don't mutate quickly.
The nucleocapside on the virus gives superior immunity by producing N-protein antibodies. They are durable and endow lasting immunity. That's why a natural infection is superior to an injection that only induces production of the the S- protein antibodies. The Jab is only temporary requiring following jabs (boosters) which are pathogenic in and of themselves and have diminishing returns.

You have ~ 1 in 30 chance of injury with each successive jab. Eventually you will catch a hot lot then you are screwed.

The jabs are non-sterilizing and “leaky” They are producing a form of OAS

Why do you think people who have been jabbed are now showing up with Covid infections again and again. their immune system has been locked into only looking for the Alpha strain.

There are no 2nd generation jabs in distribution. All the jabs target the Spike protein only and it has learned to avoid the antibodies. The only variation is in the amount of mRna used.

Pfizer and Moderna have several billion doses set to expire unused. Thats why they are pivoting to Paxlovid which is a high priced snake oil.

Thank you for the details! I knew it was something along those lines, but did not realize their system was different.

Makes perfect sense now.

This is why I love FR.....you can always learn something.

No. That would be like a surgeon not charging somebody for a botched operation.

Hope all is going well, ...

She's feeling very well. Moving about town now. Enjoyed a little lunch at a local outdoor establishment with a view of the Missouri river. Life is good. Thank you for your prayers!
