#Wastewatertesting does a good job at detecting mpox #infections, bolstering a push to use sewage to track more diseases.
U.S. Centers for #Disease Control and Prevention researchers found that over the course of a week, there was a 32% likelihood the tests would detect the presence of at least one person infected with #mpox in a population ranging from thousands to millions.

#NZ Health Minister saying #WasteWaterTesting shows little trace of #Covid19 virus in NZ. Poops.nz showing 41 of 42 sites testing +ve, so I don’t know what she’s been told to the contrary
