Hello, it’s the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

Let's start with the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. The 7-Day running average of the Sars-CoV-2 levels has been creeping up. Last data is from 7/1.

The variant analysis for all three sites has been updated for the last week of June. Both NB 1.8.1 and XFG are showing up in the samples.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). New! the Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

"A Washington State school district is defending a teacher who posted a 'This Teacher Kills Fascists' sign on social media the end of last month.

In the since-deleted Instagram post, Olympia High School teacher Ryan Akiyama (pictured) noted he had planned on putting the sign on his hydration pack for an upcoming race.

According to The Olympian, Akiyama also wrote 'Might need to print it on a T-shirt next for all my fellow WOKE DEI educators still showing up with courage and care. Yes, I’m woke. Yes, I teach DEI. No, I’m not sorry if that triggers the willfully ignorant.'

Akiyama further explained that teaching is 'an inherently political act,' but not in 'the direction the neo-fascists in the MAGA movement.' Teaching is 'in service of E PLURIBUS UNUM, All are created equal, and equal protection under the law.'"
