The good news: we got some data this week, including some backfilled data that we didn't get last week. The bad news: there is some not-great stuff going on.
Let’s start with the West Point sewage treatment plant. For the Sars-CoV-2 concentrations 7 day rolling average, there was a crazy, crazy rise from the November 26th calculation to the 28th. The calculated concentration averages more than tripled over those two days. It's far and away as high as has been recording since the Public Health Lab took over sampling in mid-September. The last averaging calculation is from December 3rd, where it turned down a bit, but still remains quite high.
Note: when the state switched over to new data providers in September, they also removed the previous historical data from the graphical interface. That's because the two providers used different methodologies that made direct comparisons difficult. Unfortunately, it also removed valuable context for interpreting the results. So, keep in mind we're just seeing what happened in September 2023 until now.
