HOLY SHIT ! FACT CHECKERS IS ONE THING… BUT THIS IS THE SHITS?

From Jeff Childers

Anyway. The article finally got around to the nub, the stinky data that has the Covidians all stirred up this month: wastewater testing:

“Our wastewater monitoring program is currently detecting high COVID-19 and RSV levels,” Yolo County public health officer Aimee Sisson said. “I recommend that everybody in the community take steps to protect themselves from infection, including wearing a high-quality mask when indoors around others. If you have not yet gotten the updated COVID-19 vaccine, annual flu vaccine, and RSV vaccine, I strongly encourage you to do so—it is not too late.”

So … some unlucky devil has the dirty job of dipping PCR tests into your raw sewage, and based on the fecal science Yolo County feels the need to push three more vaccinations on everybody. But still, underneath the sludge of droppings data, there’s no real mask mandate anywhere.

Now let’s tackle this harebrained wastewater thing.

? It used to be that neurotic, OCD people were obsessed with their own bathroom habits. But it’s a brave new post-covid era, and OCD people have expanded their horizons; they are now equally fascinated with your number-two habits. This bathroom biofeedback story, which you probably never heard of, is the biggest thing going in the Covidian world, and it is threatening to break through as a mainstream Narrative.

So let’s shut it down!

First, here is just one (of very many) example to set the hysterical tone. This particular Covidian heart-breaker has 23,000 Covidian followers:

I keep thinking they’re running out of words and they keep coming up with new ones. Last year it was the dark winter of suffering and deaths, and this year it’s the harrowing year of heartbreak. Or something.

Covidians’ biggest problem is that all the daily covid dashboards have been unplugged, shut down, and de-funded, and worse, mandatory covid reporting has expired too. That just leaves them with one place to look to sustain their neurotic habits: our poo. The levels of scatological obsession are not just rising in social media’s toilet bowl, either. The levels of poop-obsessed neuroses are also surging with corporate media maniacs like Newsweek.

And even the big papers. Here’s another example, from yesterday’s Boston Globe:

Before you ask, the “brung back mask mandate” was not new; it’s a standing Mass General policy triggered by a very small percentage (2.85%) of emergency visits from any respiratory virus. Mass Gen just reached 2.85% for the first time this fall, and — following its existing policy — said it will require workers to mask starting January 2nd. Now check out this next sentence the Globe slipped into its story way down the page: “Last year, local hospitals experienced respiratory infection levels as high as 7.3% during what many health officials called the tripledemic.”

So … yawn … this year’s “surging” 2.85% respiratory ED burden at Mass General is half of last year’s burden. Wait! I think I just saw the North Star while my eyes were rolling straight up. Anyway, this isn’t just another stupid, fear-peddling non-story about covid. Remember the wastewater. Here’s what the Globe said about that not-for-the-dinner-table subject:

The Boston-area COVID wastewater data keeps spiking. The COVID wastewater data is the first sign of virus cases in the community. The south-of-Boston virus wastewater weekly average was up to 1,611 copies per milliliter ahead of Christmas, which is nearly double from early December. The 1,600-plus average is the highest the COVID wastewater data has been since January.
The north-of-Boston average was up to 1,150 copies per milliliter ahead of Christmas — also about double from earlier this month. The 1,100-plus average in the north is also the highest since January.
See what the Globe did there? The wastewater levels — copies per millileter? What? — are the highest they’ve been since last January.

Um, just now we’re one week from January. So they’re just reporting normal, seasonal covid levels. It’s literally a non-story. But the poor Covidians have been convinced by all this fake news hysteria that this is the big one. They have poo dashboards and post-digestive tracking systems and they are utterly fascinated by the things they can find at the end of their plumbing. Even the CDC is now offering a National Wastewater Surveillance System — with its own acronym, of course, the slightly-unwieldy but official-sounding NWSS, which at your option can either be pronounced news or noose, which rhymes with loose, as in loose bowels.

And loose bowels are just the ticket for getting the best readouts. “See the data and take action to protect your health,” says the CDC’s website for the NWSS. Don’t poo-poo it. People can take lots of actions after plumbing their sewage data. The imagination boggles. But it’s good to see the CDC finally digging into the pandemic with both hands.

This might possibly be the most insane OCD to run down the pandemic’s sewer system so far in a long diarrheaic stream of pandemic psychosis. Covidians readily admit — but then promptly ignore — that current seasonal covid wastewater levels are but a tiny fraction of the January 2022 peak:

The “bottom” line is, there’s nothing suggesting anything remarkable about the winter covid levels in the sewers. Nothing that justifies masking. And, contrary to all the headlines and the flailing Narratives, there is no re-masking movement developing.

So, you ask, why are Covidians — the science followers! — so exercised? I’ll tell you, but you won’t believe me. It’s because they still believe in Zero-Covid. And they think the entire world should be focused on achieving that unreachable goal, just like they are, even if it requires anal-ytically plumbing the depths of defecation along with them.

All right, all right, I’ll stop now! Moving on.
