#covid (Moderna) and #flu shots in the arm today. Apparently increasing rates in the region. I've also seen more #maskwearing, which is good.
Not #halloween masks, that is. But equally scary.

Greetings, here are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.
A reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.
The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's SARS-CoV2 seven-day running average numbers are bouncing around a fairly high range. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 10/13.
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 https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. 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 fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

So, this confirms what we knew all along. #BorisJohnson and the entire #Tory government (especially #MattHancock ) lied and lied and lied. When mixed with absolute incompetence at all levels it made for a highly toxic and explosive mix which resulted in many thousands of unnecessary deaths.
And apart from "lessons learned" and a slap on the wrist, what will happen?
Sweet FA, as usual
