Howdy, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

Unfortunately, while the wastewater section of the Washington State respiratory data dashboard is labelled as having been updated today, none of the three individual sites in King County have updated data. If it plays out the way it has been recently, we'll get site updates, including backfilled data, next week.

If you are absolutely dying for some local wastewater information, I just noticed that Verily has been testing at a Snohomish County site since last October, and has its latest sample drawn on December 8th. It shows a climb up since Thanksgiving, with a slightly improving trendline since December 6th. See https://publichealth.verily.com/?v=SC2_N&s=Washington.

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 https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally).
