Original Note:
Misrepresentation: Infection numbers cannot be determined from wastewater. CDC wastewater data are normalized to a rolling 1-yr baseline, and aren't proportional to infection rates. https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/about-data.html#anchor_53209 CDC: "estimates of community infection based on wastewater measurements should not be used". https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/nwss/reporting.html
