In case anyone wants to see, and cannot because of the paywall, here are the actual charts on the MWRA: https://www.mwra.com/biobot/biobotdata.htm. I'm concerned about the hospitals and their strained capacity due to RSV (and to a lesser extent, flu). Local pediatricians are calling for mitigation efforts; one of the recommendations is "“Anyone gathering in crowded indoor spaces, including children who are symptomatic, should consider wearing a mask,” - that article was 11/17/22 https://www.boston.com/news/health/2022/11/17/massachusetts-rsv-physician-groups/ - kids are sneezing and coughing all over the place in crowded stores/schools, and very few are wearing masks. Even with so many being fully vaccinated/boosted, with the current strain on hospitals it is concerning with that wastewater data showing an upswing at such a steep rate of climb.
