We cannot go lightly into Wastewater Based Epidemiology. Almost everything I have seen Public Health and Medicine do with this innovative new approach to wastewater surveillance is wrong: wrong agent, too little, and too late. I say this since we were one of the first teams to discover this approach when it was actually successful at restricting Pandemic SARS-CoV-2; and Epidemic Influenza, RSV, and Pneumococcal transmission.
The viruses that will become the next Pandemics if we fail to contain them do not think. They do not plan. They do not pardon. They do not care if they infect us, our children, our parents, most vulnerable in the community, or animals that keep us alive.
They hide beyond the abbe 200nm line of visible light, use the always on engine of infection and inequality to move from host to host. When they stick to a viable new tissue they capitalize on the niche they encounter and add a tick to their column.
There is nothing we need in this scientific age but will to defeat them all.
