PoPNS 1 in 5 teachers has long covid.

PoPNS So, a spike *above* the surge which has lasted, with one brief interruption, for seven weeks in the wastewater data? or are we talking about the months-old spike that's really kind of a big hill at this point? (Chart from health-infobase.canada.ca/wastewater/, current only to Aug 18.)
