In the early days of COVID, we used wastewater surveillance to spot undetected community transmission.
Our sewage gave public health authorities early alerts that COVID was spreading.
Wastewater surveillance also gives information on sub variants: what's on the rise and what's in decline.
But there's other stuff in wastewater - and it's downright criminal.
That's captured on today's rather smelly Coronacast.
