Hi, it’s 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.

I usually start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant, but the last value in the table, for 4/8, is 0.0. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to live in a world with zeroed-out readings for the Sars-CoV-2 concentration levels were an actual thing! And to be totally fair, the readings from 4/6 are, historically speaking, quite low. But 0.0? I think that's a glitch.

Hardcore wastewater nerds might recall that King County runs their very own Sars-CoV-2 dashboard for the same treatment plants. Alas, the county's dashboard has the same problem. I'm just going to skip WSPT's graph this week.

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 doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. 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 feditubes, at @WADeptHealth.

Years of negotiations culminated early Wednesday with countries agreeing the text of a landmark accord on how to tackle future pandemics, aimed at avoiding the mistakes made during the Covid-19 crisis. After more than three years of talks and one last marathon session, weary delegates at the World Health Organization's headquarters finally sealed the deal at around 2:00 am (0000 GMT) Wednesday.

“Imagine being able to walk into a crowded store, restaurant or even movie theater and be able to detect if there’s COVID-19 in the air.

It could be a reality in just a few years as a team at Virginia Tech is developing what is essentially a portable rapid test for the air.”

STUDY: "While SARS-CoV-2 cannot be classified as a directly oncogenic virus like HPV or EBV, emerging research reveals several mechanisms by which infection might create cellular conditions potentially conducive to oncogenesis, particularly in long #COVID19 patients. This perspective has highlighted... shared mechanisms between established oncogenic viruses and SARS-CoV-2, suggesting potential long-term oncogenic implications."

CDC weighing end to universal COVID vaccine recommendations - CBS News

🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨
this is a GIGANTIC problem

ACIP meeting is ongoing currently

People left 3232 comments out of 4039, specifically about #Novavax

they noticed

ACIP doesn’t have anything to do with vaccine approval but it was definitely a good thing as it made these people know they are on notice & we are all watching

now the same amount of emails need to flood individual people

they’re trying to bring the bi-valent #Covid19 vaccine back🤦🏻‍♀️

not only was it ineffective, for Pfizer there was an increase in strokes post vaccination ⭐️(**edit not as effective compared to monovalent & increased reports of ischemic strokes when Pfizer bivalent was taken at the same time as influenza vaccine although this was found to be incidental)

will activism work with this administration?

probs not, but am still going to try… because at least will know i tried

regardless of where you are in the🌎🌍🌏, these decisions of Big Pharma will effect you too so if you have the bandwidth, please email

more clarity to follow🖤

Jen, MPH :verified:

Federal workers at some HHS agencies have been told to get rid of any signage and digital content related to COVID. This is very 1984. If you can’t mention it, you can’t fund it and you can’t have outbreaks of it.

Research Update:

· Three studies highlight the long-term effects of #COVID19 on children’s brains, kidneys, and cardiovascular systems
· Electronic health records of 6.5 million people showed notable differences and similarities between #LongCOVID and #MECFS myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)
· NIH study assesses if the tracer 11C-PS13 — a molecule injected into the body before an imaging scan — can help identify inflammation in people with neurological Long COVID

From the Netherlands:

Health outcomes up to 3 years ...

"Specifically, while some health outcomes improved over time, self-reported fatigue and cognitive problems worsened between the second and third year."

"the results from this analysis suggest among people who were tested for #COVID19, those with a positive test experienced an increased rate of diagnosis of infectious illnesses in the 12 months following"
