From Raw Data to Actionable Insights: Biobot’s Evolution of Public Data Sharing | Biobot Analytics
biobot.io
Biobot has always believed in the transformative power of wastewater data for public health. We started by making this important data available during the COVID-19 pandemic to fill critical data gaps nationally in an easily digestible way. Our data not only helped the public, but empowered public health departments and researchers to utilize its potential. […]

NGL, it wasn't much data anymore with how little monitoring is happening in florida, but it's still just about all that was reliable.

    It's not that they wanted to shut it down. The CDC ended their contract with Biobot in September 2023 in favor of Verily, and Biobot filed an appeal. If Biobot is now sunsetting their wastewater dashboard, they must have lost the appeal.

      I'm not sure that's the case, as they are still doing summary reports of the collected data.

      I do wonder if it's that so many counties have stopped participating that they were starting to look silly. Florida was down to 3 or 4 out 67 counties. Looking at all the state date was looking like a graph graveyard.

          Woo! We're up to 5 or 6 counties now! lmao, the bar has been raised! data-laughing Thanks for pointing me towards this. Should at least fulfill the role biobot's graphs were in giving me an idea of when we're in the middle of a statewide wave. Looks like things are starting to pick up again down in St Pete. doomer
