Hi Chris
I know that there is monitoring being done on wastewater to look at overall virus load in
various communities and I know that that can predict outbreaks before they show up.
I am starting to see counseling clients in person and am in the process of opening up myfencing gym to practices and classes and yet I have a son who is in a vulnerable population. If
the virus load in the community goes up, I would feel the need to close my businesses backdown/go online again to protect my son.
Would it be possible to have that information posted publicly so vulnerable populations can
more accurately and timely gauge their actual risks? I called the county call center the otherday and they did not have that information.
Thank you for any help you can offer. And for how you've been helping keep us all informed.
