The CDC's new Covid-19 wastewater monitoring pages are clear and easy to understand. And unfortunately, concentrations are increasing, particularly in the Midwest. https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID19-nationaltrend.html

FDA recommends repeat testing with rapid antigen tests if you believe you have been exposed, whether or not you have symptoms. If you're negative on the first test, test again in 48 hrs, and if still negative, test again in 48 more hours. https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/home-covid-19-antigen-tests-take-steps-reduce-your-risk-false-negative-results-fda-safety

Good morning, Mastodon friends! Yup, the weather is interesting. We have a flood watch through Monday afternoon. I'm about to zip out to walk dogs since the radar shows severe thunderstorms a couple hours to our west. At least it won't be as hot as yesterday, although the morning already is very warm. Donny will be a much happier boy when his soft cone comes off for his walk. The sore spot on his leg seems to be healing, so only a few more days in the cone.
Have a safe, good day, all!
