Not just one reading, it’s a steady rise over 4 readings from 0 on June 29 to quite high on July 20. Yes, some kind of immune deficiency seems the most likely explanation I guess. A summer flu season is certainly a worrying development.

@DavidM_yeg@mstdn.ca @megmac@social.treehouse.systems You're looking at the rolling average. The steady rise is how much of that one high reading gets averaged into each of the previous measurements (which have all been zero since the end of May). You have to switch to the "Exact" chart to see the individual readings. 🧐
Taber and Calgary do have measurable influenza levels all month, at higher concentrations than Edmonton got all year (probably due to different dilution factors in the sewage system). Until there's replication, my guess is the Edmonton outlier data point is a mislabelled sample or data entry error.
