Canadian waste water surveillance expanding to new public health threats: Tam

Plans are under way to sift through Canadian sewage to test for and measure monkeypox, polio and other potential health threats, the country’s chief public health officer said Friday.

“Moving forwards, it could form part of our monitoring of the disease activity going up and down across the country,” Tam said at a media briefing. The Public Health Agency of Canada also intends to start testing for polio as “soon as possible” after U.S. health officials found the polio virus in New York City’s waste water.

Polio tests are just now coming online in Ontario, said Eric Arts, a microbiology and immunology professor at Western University.

Nice….so the government will be even more full of shit….

How far does waste surveillance go? Why can't authorities narrow down waste water diseases or drug concentrations to specific neighborhoods or even homes? Why can't authorities put monitors at every residential connection with city waste and determine what each house is doing?

More China viruses?
