This repository contains the code for five figures used to visualize SARS-CoV-2 clinical cases and RNA detection in wastewater. The figures are used in a paper that is currently (as of 6/12) submitted to Water Research.
Figure 1 depicts clinically confirmed cases and pulls data from a NY Times repo here -- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/master/us-counties.csv
The remaining 4 figures are created using data generated by HRSD and represent concentration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater, enumerated using the 3 CDC assays (N1, N2, N3).
Concentration is converted to population normalized viral load in order to compare trends between WWTP catchments.
population normalized viral load = (CoV-2 concentration in raw wastewater * wastewater flow at sample time) / catchment population
