A full week of wastewater data now shows a steep decline in covid numbers in the Boston area.
One interesting thing is that the wave peaks *at* January 1st. I would have expected it to be after January 1st due to transmission at New Years parties. This could imply that covid waves now are more influenced by population immunity and seasonal factors and less by human behaviors (like having parties)—though I imagine all of the above are factors.
(As ever, I'm not an expert.)
