From the article: "Zoom in: As of Jan. 24, 307,800 birds in Washington state had been affected by H5N1, according to the USDA.

"The bird flu virus killed 20 big cats in Washington last year and was detected in wild mammals in six counties, including raccoons in Franklin and Island counties, harbor seals in Jefferson County, skunks in Stevens County, and a bobcat in King."

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

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, and isn't affected by the Trump administration communications clampdown from the U.S. federal health agencies.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's Sars-CoV-2 7-day rolling average improved dramatically from last week's strange spike. The last 7DRA number was calculated on 1/21.

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 doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. 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).

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.

A screencap of the Washington State Department of Health's Covid wastewater data for the West Point Wastewater Treatment Plant. The trend line of the graph is described in the toot text.

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

First off, you may have read about the Trump administration “pausing” all communications from the U.S. federal health agencies. Which is, you know, pathetic bullshit. Anyway, just a reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not from the federal health agencies. It is not “paused.”

Let's start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant, which was nuts last week. How wild? The 1/12 reading was far and away the highest that’s been recorded since last winter. It’s reassuring that it subsequently came down quickly on 1/14, but it’s still quite high when you look at the entire time series.
