Please note that our estimates are based on waste water, but also historical survey-based surveillance data from Quebec, test positivity rates and excess mortality (adjusted for excess deaths attributable to toxic drugs, healthcare system overload, medical assistance in dying and influenza).

Plan ahead folks! Get some rapid tests too. Do your best to prevent infection in the first place. 😷
If you can please stock up on : chicken broth, crackers (regular or peanut butter), cough drops, honey, lemon and honey tea or Tension Tamer Tea from Celestial Seasonings or Chai, Jello or pudding, orange juice and KN95 Masks. Flu season is gonna be bad.
