Scientists believe traces of the coronavirus found in water treatment plants can potentially bolster surveillance efforts as nations look to end lockdowns

In search of an early-warning system for the new coronavirus, Eric Alm spends most mornings handling sewage that has been flushed down toilets in Massachusetts.

He first opens a tube filled with 40 milliliters of raw sewage from an urban treatment plant that captures wastewater from households in the state. Samples are then analyzed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If Prof. Alm and his team of scientists are successful, they quickly find traces of the genetic signature of the coronavirus.

Weird.

So society really has gone down the shitter?

Lol Americans are resorting to digging around sewage tanks because the WhiteHouse & realDonaldTrump have failed on testing. Can you believe Trump is thinking about re-election after over thousands of Americans are dead on his watch.

Are you planning to start trading but you don’t have any real experience? Good for you I just found the perfect website for you. In a few weeks time you can turn into profit.

Boy what a crappy job!

Couldn't do that in the US though. It'd be too contaminated with cocaine, fentanyl & alcohol. 🤭

Looks like a photo from India.

Bullshit. Whether its a septic tank in your backyard or your citys processing center. Flys and micoorganisns eat human fece in a Closed tank..

Sensationalization. Pseudoscience.

Are these traces or can corona survive in waste water ?

' B'h Let my people go

It's in the water.........

The virus lives in waste water. The virus lives in sperm. The virus can be passed from the dead to the living. The virus can reinfect those who've already had it.

Piss on that

Reopen every state, every business, every industry, every sector NOW! Free every American ! Bring back their jobs!! Americans (except people with underlying problem) need a summer break to get out to enjoy national parks, beaches, camps,.... save America now!!!

Just more of the Trump shitshow... literally. Now we're tracing through poop because we can't get the feds to participate in saving us in any other meaningful way.

All. The.way. back. To yourzsimple method of psycho analysis of kids for the future Youvfik queue fickcwe know we are number six you are so TA

*assuming officials care more about health than economy (big assumption)

And so it's true, that we are going into a new era of surveillance culture where consent becomes an afterthought?! Fight pandemic without sacrificing our privacy- We need tech with philosophy of “privacy by design” like iotex_io

Massiveparallelinfection revised LITTLE HUMAN MAKE MISTAKE In a previous tweet i wrote i don't care for likes or followers.I didn't see it as a 'CRUSADE'.I just wanted MEDIA to press authorities ABOUT A MAN THAT WAS DYING with a UNCHECKED DBS Machine.NOT EVEN ONE MEDIA BOTHERED

Bullshit

If nothing else they will probably find the DNA of the next generation of politicians down there.

Coronavirus originated from sewers!!! Yeah right keep diverting the issues with cheap misdirections. CCPVirus

Why Scientists Think The Novel Coronavirus Developed Naturally — Not In A Chinese LabYou could be forgiven for wondering how a disease as fast-moving and deadly as COVID-19 could just appear naturally, out of nowhere, seemingly overnight. Presid… So called scientists. Trump and his advisor, Alex Jones think otherwise. Still pushing this? No one said it was created in a lab. Shhh... don't let FoxNews watchers hear this.
