Best COVID Data Underfunded

What is happening? The most reliable COVID rate data is found in wastewater, not in positive test results. Waste water COVID data is more reliable and economical to collect.

Why is this important? Although waster water COVID data is more accurate, funding for collecting COVID data in wastewater has been unreliable.

How will this be important?  There are now “1,000 CDC-funded surveillance sites are now operational across the U.S. The agency expects 200 more to start collecting data within the next few months.”
