For those asking about Australia's National Wastewater Surveillance Program, I've emailed the Australian CDC today to ask whether surveillance has started and when the public dashboard will be available. I'll share any updates once I hear back. Now we wait! Source: www.cdc.gov.au/diseases/sur...

An informational banner from the Australian Centre for Disease Control (featuring the Australian Government coat of arms) introduces the National Wastewater Surveillance Program.
The main text reads: "The National Wastewater Surveillance Program is testing wastewater from sentinel sites across Australia to detect and monitor priority communicable diseases, such as COVID-19 and influenza. This will help us assess risk and be ready for future public health threats."

• The post describes how COVID-19 infects and repurposes cells, disrupts the immune system and can spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system.
• It suggests that damage may result from both the virus itself and the body's immune response.
• The author states: “And that damage is cumulative with every new infection.”
• The post emphasises concerns about repeated COVID infections and their potential long-term effects.

Researchers studied 8,402 COVID-reactive T cells from 42 patients and found those with mild COVID had more CD8+ “killer” T cells, which fought the virus more effectively for up to 4 months. The findings could help develop future COVID vaccines that offer longer-lasting protection.

Adelaide teenager Max Peruzzi, 17, has been left housebound after developing POTS following a COVID infection in 2022. He suffers from extreme fatigue, brain fog, dizziness and a racing heart. "The researcher said virus’, such as COVID or glandular fever, trigger an immune disorder such as POTS"

A screenshot of a news article from The Advertiser online edition, dated October 9, 2026.
The headline reads: "Adelaide teenager Max Peruzzi left housebound by debilitating POTS condition after contracting Covid." A subheadline explains that the 17-year-old South Australian has missed school and developed depression due to the condition, which has no known cure. The article is written by Evangeline Polymeneas.
Below the text is a large photograph of Max Peruzzi, a young male with short brown hair wearing a light grey hoodie. He is pictured outdoors, looking off to the side while holding a small, black Tragus Nerve Stimulator device into his right ear. The device connects to a white wire. The image caption confirms he uses the device to help manage his POTS symptoms.

"Masks are great. But they aren’t magic" Source: x.com/PrognosticCh...

A screenshot of a social media post by Prognostic Chats (@PrognosticChats), dated 12:52 AM · Oct 9, 2026, with 13.4K Views.
The main text outlines that masks are effective but not infallible. It explains that a high viral load in a poorly ventilated room over time can overwhelm a mask, meaning solo masking requires some luck. The author notes that with other public health measures gone, solo masking acts as a last line of defense, but emphasizes it is far more effective when combined with universal masking, good ventilation, and routine testing.
This post directly quotes a message from activity (derogatory) (@poetryalpastor) from Oct 8 asking: "Does anybody else who regularly wears a mask feel like a super fuckup/failure/loser when they get sick?"

🧵(1/3) NSW respiratory surveillance reports: 8 October 2026 Week ending 3 October 2026 🔸COVID positivity rate: 2.2% (-0.5%) 🔸Number of laboratories reporting COVID: 3 out of 4 🔹COVID: 488 (-18.9%) 🔹Influenza: 4,745 (-18.1%) 🔹RSV: 647 (-6.9%) Source: www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/c...

A screenshot of the NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report for the week ending 3 October 2026, from the NSW Government health website.
A prominent boxed banner at the top states: "Influenza is at a high level of activity. COVID-19 is at a low level of activity. RSV is at a low level of activity."
The "Summary" section repeats these virus activity levels and notes that Influenza vaccination is strongly recommended now.
The "Data sources and methods" section explains how NSW Health monitors respiratory viruses using surveillance data, wastewater programs, and genomic sequencing. It notes that public registration of positive COVID-19 rapid antigen tests (RATs) ceased on 30 September 2023. A final paragraph states that data is updated as new information becomes available, meaning it cannot be directly compared to previous reporting periods. A link at the bottom points to further methodology details.

An image of a data table from the NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report for the week ending 3 October 2026.
An Interpretation banner at the top notes weekly decreases in virus notifications: 18.9% for COVID-19, 18.1% for influenza, and 6.9% for RSV.
The main table breaks down 488 COVID-19 cases, 4,745 Influenza cases, and 647 RSV cases recorded that week, along with Year-to-Date totals. The data is categorized by:
• Gender: Shows case counts and percentages for females and males across all three viruses.
• Age Group: Lists data across 11 age categories from 0-4 up to 90+.
• Local Health District (LHD): Tracks cases across 15 regional districts, highlighting that Western Sydney recorded the highest weekly numbers for Influenza (1,068 cases) and COVID-19 (100 cases).

An image showing three bar charts from the NSW Respiratory Surveillance Report, tracking weekly notifications from 1 April 2025 to 3 October 2026.
• COVID-19 Chart (Top): Shows a major wave peaking over 4,000 weekly cases in June/July 2025, followed by a steady baseline around 1,000 cases through 2026.
• Influenza Chart (Middle): Shows a clear seasonal pattern. Cases peaked around 8,000 in August 2025 and hit a massive seasonal spike of nearly 8,000 cases in August/September 2026. The bars are colour-coded by test type, dominated heavily by dark blue (Influenza - Type A).
• RSV Chart (Bottom): Shows distinct waves, peaking near 3,000 cases in June 2025, dropping to near-zero in summer, and peaking again near 3,000 cases in June/July 2026 before steadily declining.

An Interpretation banner at the top states that weekly test positivity decreased to 2.2% for COVID-19, 17.8% for Influenza, and 1.5% for RSV.
• Figure 13 (Line/Bar Graph): Tracks weekly COVID-19 positive tests and percentage rates from 1 April 2025 to 4 October 2026. The rate peaked at 7.3% in July 2025 and has stabilized at a low baseline, sitting at 2.2% at the far right.
• Table 2: Displays a 4-week breakdown of SARS-CoV-2 notifications up to the week ending 04 October. Two red circles highlight specific data points for the final week: a test positivity rate of 2.2% and a total of 3 laboratories reporting. Total weekly PCR tests conducted hover around 9,500 to 10,500.
