The Villages uses rain water from the retention ponds to irrigate not waste water.

Wrong,,,, DONT drink the water

I think you're misinterpreting what the link is saying. They are using the presence of COVID pieces to determine the spread of infection in the community. These pieces are not "live" viruses that can infect you. Basically, if they discover much more of these pieces than would be expected by the number of confirmed cases, it would indicate that more people are infected than currently thought. The wastewater here does not pose a risk of acquiring the virus by it presence wherever it is used.

Great. Let's spread more panic and bad information.

WOW JUST WOW. Can't even think how to reply to something so bizarre

Part of the waste water process is bleaching, doubtful much of anything would survive. The treated wastewater is supposedly safer than the runoff in the ponds.

The wastewater examined was pre-treatment. From the article: "found that the amount of SARS-CoV-2 particles in the sewage samples." The treatment process takes care of all sorts of nasty stuff found in the raw sewage.

okay daddy I've read the link and thought about it

there's no covid-19 risk to us with waste water itself...but now you're running around like 'chicken little' potentially creating panic over nothing

In my humble opinion I believe that you're a fine example of why there are more horses asses than there are horses

Not sure if that’s totally true? You may want to look into that?
