@nursefrombirth Wastewater never lies, because everyone “contributes” to it. Still, for to show up in there must have been quite a few “contributors”, not just one random person.

@cassandra17lina I was thinking the same thing. Evidently, it was an area, Rockland County, where vaccination rates are about 61% vs 93% nationwide. So I'm concurring that there must have been quite a few contributors or that's one POTENT virus.

@nursefrombirth @cassandra17lina It is a largely Hasidic Jewish community. A Rabbi had explained in another incident that there are cultural and religious traditions that prevent them from taking any vaccines. Some schools in the area banned children from attending because they did not have the basic required vaccines. Even though Rabbi's have pleaded with them it is a major hurdle.

@nursefrombirth @cassandra17lina My apologies I should have said Orthodox, not Hasidic...they are entirely different...

Here we go found this article suggesting 1000s are infected.
It appears that this county had the same issue with measles in 2019.

NY county with polio has pitiful 60% vaccination rate; 1,000s may be infected
