If you look patient samples collect in the last month from those places, these are the numbers that are BA.3.2:

NYC - 13/36 (10/13 kids)
CT - 0/0
PA - 0/0
MD - 7/56 (3/7 kids)

So, it's just uneven sequencing. We will see more patient cases.

BA.3.2 update.

In the last week BA.3.2 showed up in over 70 wastewater samples, but they were not evenly distributed.

Over half of them came for NY (all NYC), CT, MD and PA.

In NY, PA and CT it was almost every sample (29/31)
In MD it was just over half.

Transferring IgG antibodies from patients with #LongCovid to mice recapitulates many symptoms

You have to wonder for how long we will continue seeing infections from 2020 continue to show up (in absurdly high quantities) in wastewater.
1/16

The only reason we know these >4-year-long pre-Omicron infections exist is because of @solidevidence.bsky.social's wastewater work.

Furthermore, WW surveillance may only be detecting an unusual minority of these chronic GI infections—ones that intermittently emit obscene viral loads.
5/16

This raises a couple questions to my mind.
First: What proportion of chronic SARS-CoV-2 GI infections cause such prolific shedding that they show up in wastewater results (sometimes as the dominant variant in large sewersheds)?

1%?

10%?

50%

0.01%?

I don't think anyone knows.

There are at least 22 studies that document patients with negative nasopharyngeal (NP) tests who later tested positive—usually by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), sometimes both BAL & NP—due to persistent infection.
