It's in waste water which means it's likely infecting rodents and strays which means it has unlimited reservoir species access which further illustrates that it isn't going to be eradicated.

They sent parents a letter at LSU Lab this afternoon recommending all students, teachers and staff be tested because their poo water had "high levels" too. That's a bit much for me. We're going to pass.

Un-fricking-believeable……this is a simple strategy to justify vaccine mandates on campus


Sororities are over 85 vaccination rate. Yet another example of the decision makers word meaning absolutely nothing.

It started as a research project around a year ago, LSU was testing all around Baton Rouge to try to find patterns. I thought it was interesting at first but this is a little too much. I guess it’s hard not to use it on dorms if you know it will bring in results.

quote:

The first step in the process is taking the flow-composited wastewater sample and pasteurizing it, followed by performing an RNA extraction. A reverse transcription is then conducted to obtain cDNA, followed by the qPCR detection of SARS-CoV-2, the official name for coronavirus. The testing is conducted at the GeneLab, a multi-faceted core laboratory directed by the Division of BioMMED at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine that engages in specific research and training projects.

Ive seen some research on this. The sewage stuff is actually pretty cool. You can see the spikes days before those numbers start being reported. This research can actually lead to some other cool things because everything ends up in the crapper. For example you can test for drugs. See what is currently trending. Then test it back up the sewer systems and determine where the problem areas are for patrols.

Same. I’m not taking my child with zero symptoms to be tested for Covid.
