Tracking coronavirus in NYCs biggest sewage plant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лис 2020
- Across the US, experts are turning to a unique source of COVID-19 data: raw sewage. It turns out poop can function as a sort of coronavirus “canary in a coal mine,” giving cities a glimpse at the future of the pandemic - before traditional testing can. To see how this works, we visited one of the largest sewage treatment plants in the country.

Who else here is watching this video while pooping?
Definitely watching it right now 💩
Gues who is eating...
Not me, but I've definitely been yelling at my husband for years now about all sorts of stuff he wants to flush down the toilet that just doesn't belong in the sewer system. I just can't seem to get it through to him that the *_only_* things that should *_ever_* go down the toilet are the four Ps-"pee, poop, puke, (toilet) paper".
I eating bacon, no problem
D.M.
Guess who is eating while pooping
The way she talks about people asking them for sewage sounds like those people just showed up there and burst into the door like "yes hello we need the sewage"
It’s not that uncommon. Public health do it all the time for quality testing and all that
She sounds smart to me. Prob. a PHD in Biological Engineering.
And this is how we know we have the virus eliminated completely in all but 2 states in Australia, because we run constant sewerage surveillance in case it ever re-enters.
Sydney, we know it's mostly confined to just the South West section of the city, but it's reported on regularly on #NSWHealth, most recently a case popped up in the North West of the city, probably someone from the South West visiting the area, hopefully with old shedding, not active virus. Community there is on alert anyway. It popped up in sewerage at a regional car race with 4,000 spectators too, again appears to have been a visitor with an old case, since no new cluster occurred out of it.
Melbourne still has shedding from the recovering cases so can't confirm if the virus is eliminated there yet through sewerage, despite 11 consecutive days with no new cases.
The rest of Australia has no covid :)
How does Australia respond to a covid case considering how little covid you guys have?
Yes! I started my career 30 years ago as a process engineer at the Hyperion Treatment Plant in Los Angeles. I appreciate this story.
That is the most beautiful WWTP I have ever seen. I would like to tour it one day
I'm watching this while poopping, very enlightening
Shedding rate ... for a second i thought he said something different. 💩
1:03 eventually she asks the question “who are you?” 😂
I wonder who's the owner of that condom she's mentioning
Oh yeah sorry that was me, won't happen again
Im pretty sure human was using that
@@urlover4788 probably was a alien
"I want your sewerage!"
Pam: 'WHO ARE YOU?!" 🤣🤣🤣
Yall the dookie detectives???? 😂
Why do people flush anything but the four P's is beyond me... Plastic is not the fifth P.
Louisville showed up being one of the first cities to implement this.
cool, thats nice to know!
Sounds like there needs to be flushable wipes regulation put in place. 8:02
Why no one do something about the flushable wipes?
Congratulations on the Emmy ♥️
They’ll be needing more money 💰 now! Cheaper on the back end! Lol 😆
not only can it predict the corona virus, it’s also a great tasting desert!
We have these kind of tests in Stockholm as well.

So i can drink poop water. I feel so thirsty by seeing this
how bad did it smell when collecting the sample?
Well they have to work there anyways, so they can collect some samples while they are there
Tastes good though
Smart
Why don't they use this same method to discover new bacteriophages for new therapy against pandemics too?
do you know what you are looking out for?
Because about the only place, if I recall, that's actively pursuing research into bacteriophages is... the country of Georgia.
The REAL message here is stop flushing so-called "flushable" wipes! They are NOT flushable
Yep. Just dab a bit of lotion on your TP.
3:28 imagine you open a wrong lunchbox for you lunch break.
This is old tho wasn't there a college that did this like 4 months ago?
UA-cam videos looks so awkward with how far apart people need to stand
Seriously? ??
This guy desperately needs pants that fit!
Couldn't make it past 1 minute
😰🤢so it's in our water?
No
I'm never this early 😂 hey that my neighborhood coney island
But how actually does the virus get into our poop!!
What the/ no this is to much
So this knowing solved what?
Thought so. Zero.
She has a real crappy job.
Alex Jones predicted this years ago
@A Vrl You saw the video, right?
@A Vrl That's a difficult request as he has been banned on every major platform and the censorship is getting worse. It was in 2012, if I remember right, that he broke this news. He said many of the same things in this video, only what he was reading was that it wouldn't just be for viruses. Basically, anything you flush will be identified through sensors. I'm still attempting to provide a link or video but I haven't found his show online that dates past 2018.
1:03 I mean, you don't have to brag.We get it, you are popular. lol jk
Finally first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're not
Oxymoron
epic
ROFL. Of course it does. Its probably just as effective as the pcr test.
Hi Michael Davies
. Keep sticking to you script, you probably have no clue what Polymerase chain reaction actually is.
@no privacy To the whole video. Admittedly no I thought it was drivel for the most part. I would assume they are combining them. But you missed my point. If you know - you know. And if you don't - it really does not take much to learn. Step outside of the youtube/facebook/twitter/msn bubble there are still plenty of very reputable organizations as yet unaffected by Gates money. They don't deny the virus, they just contest the methods being employed. These are serious people like the former medical advisor to the UN. Peace.
@@SleepySeel LOL Troll farms have no relevant accurate respon, can't even stay on topic. Instead goes on a tangent out of context. We can see your BS tactics.
