1/ 📈 WWSCAN Weekly Data
COVID-19: Nationwide, SARS-CoV-2 is in the “Medium” category with medium concentrations and a downward trend over the last 3 weeks. Notably, the South and West are now in the “Low” category.
October is #RSVAwareness month. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, and it can be serious for babies & older adults.

COVID-19: Nationally and in some regions (Midwest & Northeast), SARS-CoV-2 continues to be in the “High” category with high concentrations and no significant upward or downward trend over the last 3 weeks.
🚨COVID-19 is categorized as “High" in #wastewater nationally.
WastewaterSCAN started out monitoring SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and it remains one of a dozen infectious diseases that we monitor across the country.

1/ Our #wastewater dashboard is now LIVE with #H5 flu data from 41 states. Our assay detects H5 #avianflu related to the #H5N1 outbreak in cattle. This testing is a critical #publichealth tool to differentiate seasonal flu from flu related to #HPAI.

It's been a big week for #redis (and @Redisinc )! After yesterday's license change, we announced today the acquisition of #Speedb, the market's fastest storage engine. We're excited to welcome Speedb team! And here is how we see the future of #redis: https://t.co/ypc5e2kRXu
I'm really excited to share our paper on dengue! An amazing part of this space is the creativity and the partnerships. It is so much fun to push the boundaries of what we can do with wastewater (arboviruses?!?!) and to work with amazing partners in public health and utilities.
We've seen a notable uptick in Influenza B in @WastewaterSCAN sites across the South. Although the levels are still low (as they remained last year) and detection sporadic at most sites, the South is the only region where we've seen onset of IBV in wastewater (6 of 55 sites).
