Ye Ole Kate strikes again. Honestly, this is government overreach that makes 9/11 and the Patriot Act look like a grade school exercise...
Coronavirus traces found in Massachusetts wastewater at levels far higher than expected
Coronavirus was detected in Massachusetts sewage at higher levels than expected, suggesting there are many more undiagnosed patients than previously known, according to a new study. Researchers fro…nypost.com
It took a whole lot of arbitrary assumptions to get from number of viral fragments in waste water to number of people infected. For this to be real science, you would need to know how much virus average symptomatic person sheds, how rapidly "traces" of virus deteriorate in sewer system, etc. Only if you knew those numbers for sure would you be able to infer that more people are infected than we thought because there is 5X more trace virus in sewage than predicted. Either of the assumed values for the two parameters I mentioned could have been off by 5X.Coronavirus traces found in Massachusetts wastewater at levels far higher than expected

"Professor Hinkley" is an anonymous blogger who doesn't even have the cajones to publish under his real name. Not my idea of a credible source.
Agree this is a very poor way to estimate # of cases. A single person could make trillions of viruses in a short period of time. How many variables are there to try toIt took a whole lot of arbitrary assumptions to get from number of viral fragments in waste water to number of people infected.

Oh great this will end well.

Love the question, because it's seems to have fallen by the wayside.Has anyone died of the garden variety flu this year?
Serious question.
Why aren't the grocery unions screaming at the stores to provide better protection for the checkers? They are being breathed on, coughed on by hundreds of shoppers. The tiny sneeze shields they put up are a joke. They are handling thousands of products that were possibly contaminated by the shoppers. The checkers should have N95 masks and face shields. Better yet a completely enclosed Plexiglas cage. When a checker catches the virus, they will pass it on to all the shoppers going through their check stand.

Works for NKShoot the guy on the right. Problem solved...

Because this thread is about COVID-19, which isn't the flu?
Assuming the graph is what it says it is - i.e., ALL deaths from all causes, that isn't surprising as I would expect deaths to decline drastically since most people are staying home, much fewer cars are on the road, etc. - but again, this thread is about COVID-19, not the flu, not about the US death rate overall (although that would be an interesting knock on effect in another context).
As for counting deaths as caused by CV if infected with CV, I don't think that is entirely wrong. If I go into the ER with CV and eventually die from heart failure due to CV directly or indirectly, then I died from CV. If I go out and die from a car wreck not related to CV but I had CV, then not - but I don't think that is what they are counting.
Perhaps i am reading the chart wrong, but in the upper left corner it states "Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality.." comparing several different seasonal death rates.Assuming the graph is what it says it is - i.e., ALL deaths from all causes, that isn't surprising as I would expect deaths to decline drastically since most people are staying home, much fewer cars are on the road, etc. - but again, this thread is about COVID-19, not the flu, not about the US death rate overall (although that would be an interesting knock on effect in another context).
