Discussed in this episode:
- Wastewater monitoring seems to show COVID levels have peaked, after a summer wave much larger than in recent years.
- For the first time, H5N1 avian influenza has been confirmed in California. The California Department of Food and Agriculture confirmed it in three dairy herds, all of them in the Central Valley. There are no confirmed cases in humans yet.
The blue-ish line that peaked highest this summer represents the Western US. Chart: CDC
