Wastewater provides early detection of Covid virus

With roommates, it's all about chemistry, molecularly speaking

SARS-CoV-2 monitoring could be improved with use of bacterial metatranscriptomes in wastewater

In a recent research report from the United States, currently available on bioRxiv preprint server, scientists have shown that bacterial taxonomic and functional profiles can discriminate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) status even without directly detecting viral transcripts – opening the door for entirely novel approaches in wastewater-based epidemiology.

SARS-CoV-2 detectable -- though likely not transmissible -- on hospital surfaces

They wondered how the virus persists on surfaces, particularly in hospitals, and they knew they had only a small window of time to get started if they wanted to capture a snapshot of the before situation before patients with the infection were admitted.
