The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.

There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.

The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.

Does anyone know how to convert Covid sewage measurements to a (ballpark) amount of people infected? If it is country specific my primary interest is in the Netherlands. Thanks :)

#ItIsNotOver #Covid #China #1MillionCasesPerDay

#China is likely experiencing 1 million #Covidinfections and 5,000 virus #deaths every day as it grapples with the virus anew.
The situation could get even worse for the country of 1.4 billion people. This current #wave may see the daily case rate rise to 3.7 million in #January. There’ll likely then be another surge of infections that will push the daily peak to 4.2 million in #March, the group estimated.

What good is a #SmartHome? #Ventilation is important to prevent #CovidInfections. As I was exposed a little under two weeks ago, figuring out how #WellVentilated my house is has been on my mind.
#CO2Level is a useful proxy for ventilation (NOT for risk of infection!). I’ve been occasionally ventilating the house by opening windows and cranking fans for an hour.
Smart home says 15 minutes is probably enough. Remember that environmental CO2 levels are in the low 400s worldwide.
