& when can we expect to see the wastewater dashboard back up & running? case rates are back up & children return to school this week, so we need this information.
from https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-wastewater-surveillance “MAP OF PARTICIPATING TREATMENT PLANTS AND COUNTIES Data Update Delay: Due to a laboratory transition in Upstate New York, updates for affected wastewater treatment plants are temporarily paused as we evaluate new data and ensure comparability with historical trends. Data updates will resume in the coming weeks. For updated data on these plants, please visit the CDC Wastewater Surveillance Dashboard.” a map of NYS with the majority (145) of sewersheds showing as grey, meaning data not available. ~25 sewersheds across NYC & LI are in varying shades of red & orange, indicating degrees of the “high percentile” detection levels.

CDC: Characteristics Associated with Adults Remembering to Wash Hands in Multiple Situations Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic — United States, October 2019 and June 2020

www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...
exerpt from the linked CDC report: “Regardless of year, men were significantly less likely than were women to remember to wash hands before eating at a restaurant, before preparing food, after using the bathroom at home, and after experiencing respiratory symptoms. In addition, young adults (aged 18-24 years) were less likely to remember to wash their hands before eating in a restaurant, before food preparation, and after having respiratory symptoms than were adults aged 45-74 years. Finally, compared with White participants, Black participants were more likely to remember to wash their hands before eating at home, before eating in a restaurant, after using the bathroom at home, and after experiencing respiratory symptoms. Hispanic participants were more likely than were White participants to remember to wash their hands before eating at home, before eating at a restaurant, and after experiencing respiratory symptoms, regardless of year.”

it’s not theater. an imperfectly-fitting mask is better than no mask at all. & layering mitigations is the way to go since none are perfect (though some certainly more effective than others).
the swiss cheese respiratory virus defense recognizing that no single intervention is perfect at preventing spread physical distance + ventilation + masks + hand hygiene + fast & sensitive testing + contact tracking + surface cleaning each intervention (layer) has imperfections (holes). multiple layers improve success.
