David Jenkins, one of the great minds in wastewater engineering, passed away. A through interdisciplinary scientist bridging microbiology and water engineering.

Als het goede wetgeving was dan zou die als gevolg van een evaluatie en niet onder druk kunnen worden behandeld. Nu lijkt het meer op 'never waste a good crisis' om meer macht te verwerven.

Niet alleen dringende adviezen maar ook maatregelen en respons van de overheid die dicht tegen dwang aanzitten.

Standaard antwoord van elk autoritair regime op elk probleem in de samenleving.
Daarnaast als je meent dat toekennen van vergaande bevoegdheden aan de overheid goed is zou dat breed gedragen moeten worden en een week uitstel geen issue zijn.

"zege (PVV) deze week versnelt de ineenstorting van de naoorlogse politieke orde"
Nadat CDA zichzelf via het niet omgaan met Omtzigt heeft laten instorten doet de VVD dat nu voor zichzelf.
De PVV is niet de oorzaak, maar het gevolg van die ineenstorting.

Nursing homes are led by very well paid directors who are supposedly appointed to lead the home. Instead they follow protocols. Only a few decided to operate on their own evaluation.

Wat doe je zelf is een verwijtende opmerking naar de burger.
Zou het niet beter zijn te zeggen: We willen dat scholen open blijven en accepteren daarmee dat het virus zich ruim verspreid ipv schuld bij burger/horeca te leggen?
This was dug up by Hiram Jackson (H/T Hiram) from the archives of the Agricola, the UC Davis student newspaper, as part of their influenza pandemic coverage (12/13/1918 edition). Even then it was clear that six feet was not a magic social distance!

The 2018 Stockholm Water Prize laureates, Bruce Rittmann and Mark van Loosdrecht, show us how we can use microorganisms to take the “waste” out of “wastewater”. We asked them about their work and upcoming inventions. Read their interview on page 10-12.
The Dutch government has just published the most recent figures for standard flu. During the latest “flu season” , just in the Netherlands, about 400,000 people were sick, and 2900 people died of flu. Thus far, 18 people have COVID-19 in this country. All are recovering.

New study shows sewage monitoring as predictive tool for COVID19 - early and sensitive detection possible - poses the question if we should measure the liquid phase or the primary solids phase - detection is still not equal to infectious virus detection
