Ever heard of wastewater testing? 👀
It helps detect viruses like COVID, flu & RSV before outbreaks spike—giving communities a head start.
That early warning can be critical, especially for underserved populations.

Impoundment of Appropriated Funds: A Fiscal Fix or A Mortal Blow to American Science and Public Health? / American Council on Science and Health
The debate over impoundment — the President's refusal to spend money appropriated by Congress - has become prominent in our political discourse, igniting fierce arguments from various quarters. Critics call it a dangerous power grab, while supporters hail it as a necessary tool for fiscal discipline @henryimiller #AndrewIFillat

Many health officials use the power of wastewater testing to track the spread of diseases, including COVID-19. Check out the link below to see what experts found in the San Joaquin Valley.

But you don’t invest in the people needed to staff healthcare & you shut down the very cost-effective #WastewaterTesting program.
You truly don’t give a damn about the people of Ontario, #TheMinisterOfHealthcarePrivatization

I'm sure that 10x increase in #COVID19 will stay in Poland (UK, etc) b/c those surges never cross the ocean.
Good thing #CorruptAF #CPC #DougFord cut #WastewaterTesting so we'll never know.

If it benefits Ontarians, public education, universal healthcare, open ERs, post secondary funding, rent control, living wage, $10 daycare, #Greenbelt #Wilmotfarms #OntarioScienceCentre #OntarioPlace conservation, #wastewatertesting Doug Ford gov creates crisis and gives it away.

If Doug Ford is hellbent on destroying the Science Centre and abandoning our communities, I want Toronto to take a stand.

Love all these investigations into Ford's blatant corruption but i have to ask: WHEN? When do we get an update @rcmpgrcpolice into #GreenbeltScandal ? When do we get AG report into #OntarioPlaceScandal ? When do Ontarians get the facts on Ford? Before or after election? #Onpoli

📢The CDC is keeping an eye on the H5N1 outbreaks in livestock with the most recent human transmission case from infected dairy cows occurring this week. The Nationwide Wastewater Surveillance Network (NWSS) has added an Influenza A dashboard to stay ahead of this threat.
🧬GT Molecular has just released PCR assays with predicted detection of the current H5N1 outbreak affecting humans, cattle, and chickens! For more information and to see our assays see: lnkd.in/gx-GZABc
👩🔬GT Molecular is at the forefront of wastewater monitoring, providing pathogen PCR assays and testing services with over 30 targets developed with the CDC available now!
🤒How do we get ahead of the next serious illness affecting our communities? By being proactive, being prepared, and testing regularly!

There are ways to shine more light on the national #H5N1 virus outbreak in dairy cows:
Testing wastewater systems could serve as sentinels for human disease -@mtosterholm
Surveillance of wastewater & milk samples is valuable to shed light on how virus is changing w/o going into contaminated farm environment -Richard Webby @StJudeResearch
Yet @CDCgov has asked @SolidEvidence to not use his test for H5N1 on these samples, to prevent confusion since we won't know where it is coming from. -That is confusing...

NY is staying on top of COVID-19 trends with the assistance of our wastewater lab. Wastewater surveillance has been a vital tool in monitoring the virus and will remain crucial as cases start to rise in the coming months. 😷 #WastewaterTesting #QWS bit.ly/3sy751K

Testing for the
COVID-19 Virus in Wastewater
Wastewater testing cannot tell us the number of infected or contagious people. COVID-19 case information is available through the BC Centre for Disease Control.
