| LjL | de-facto: complete decoupling from recorded cases, as suspected... | 17:19 |
| de-facto | https://coronadashboard.rijksoverheid.nl/landelijk/rioolwater <-- this is the dutch sewer sampling | 17:20 |
| de-facto | i wonder how accurate that metric really correlates with number of currently infected | 17:20 |
| de-facto | for the sewer metric to be somewhat accurate we would have to assume 1) viral shedding per infected person roughly is similar, yet it may sharply depend on immuno-competence, age group and variant in question | 17:21 |
| de-facto | 2) that the data of RNA copies per ml sewer sample is somehow normalized, e.g. that they account for variable additional water influx etc (possibly by normalizing the data by some other sample that originates from human bodies and roughly remains the same, e.g. some E.coli or whatever) | 17:22 |
| LjL | Well it was very easy to overlay to the "actual" case graph for a period | 17:26 |
| LjL | It wasn't at the beginning, but we know at the beginning PCR tests were a scarce resource | 17:26 |
| LjL | And it isn't now | 17:27 |
| LjL | But in the middle, it overlapped pretty well | 17:27 |
| de-facto | ah you mean there was strong correlation between sewer sampling and antigenic or molecular testing in the mid of the pandemic phase? | 17:27 |
| LjL | Biobot has been doing this for a while, I kind of assume they know what they're doing | 17:27 |
| LjL | I don't know about the NL | 17:27 |
| LjL | I applaud them for doing in the first place since we don't | 17:27 |
| LjL | Yes | 17:28 |
| de-facto | yes it makes a lot of sense to do this | 17:28 |
| de-facto | my guess would bet hat hospitalizations wont peak, but i am not so sure about prevalence for people that suffer from long COVID after this wave | 17:28 |
| de-facto | the biobot data is copies / mL of sewage | 17:30 |
| de-facto | which is fine, yet id like to see a control marker for the concentration of the sewer sample, e.g. above mentioned E.coli DNA copies or similar (for which we could assume a roughly constant shedding rate per participant) | 17:31 |
| LjL | Asking for a friend (really): what's the current take around here over using aspirin not just as pain relief but as potential help with COVID risks? Because I would take it, because I got convinced it helps, but I am aware there were also studies or allegations or anecdotes that it made it *worse* instead, and I don't know if the latter were obsoleted by the former, or it just depends who you ask, or what. Anyway I just wanted to get the feel of the channel about | 17:40 |

| Tuvix | LjL: Not on point with COVID, but I presume the individual is aware that a recommendation changed recently regarding asprin as a heart-attack reduction; it's no longer recommended "in general" now, only in specific cases where benefits outweigh the risks | 22:38 |
| Tuvix | While that's not COVID-specific, it also seems to highlight that taking it as a generic preventative actually carries some risks. Presumably those risks remain, but then the question is 1) is there any SARS-CoV-2 benefit, and 2) is that worth the asprin dosage risks the non-COVID findings show. | 22:39 |
