Last week I shared this post about wastewater data in the Boston area, we have another 7 days of data, and happily the figures are even lower.

The 7-day average is now sitting at 23 copies/mL as of May 7. That puts the current signal at the 2nd percentile of every reading recorded since March 20200. Boston had wastewater data very early thanks to Biobot being a Cambridge company.

This trend is remarkable :-)

The MWRA Northern district wastewater data (Boston to Wilmington) is sitting at 25 copies/mL — the last time it was this low was July 2020, at that point, MA was reporting ~200 confirmed cases/day statewide.

We'll certainly see more waves, but kinda remarkable how relatively low community transmission in the area is right now.

This company that seems to be some soft of online clinic for those with "Long COVID, ME/CFS, MCAS, POTS, hEDS and related conditions."

I immediately noticed that the patient testimonial from "Erika M." appears to be an AI-generated image (and not even a good one)

Inconsistent earrings, inconsistent shirt collar, unnatural hair, etc. These are typical hallmarks of https://thispersondoesnotexist.com which uses a very dated model

I've seen this company referenced here before so wanted to flag my suspicions.

Perhaps it is genuine? What do you think?

I purchased a coat from the Factory Shop in New Hampshire about 8 years ago, its developed a hole I the shoulder from storage.

Will barbour repair it? I'm seeing conflicting reports. The interior tag has the O in BarbOr colored in with sharpie it looks like.
