Wastewater and environmental surveillance has been promoted as a communicable disease tool because it overcomes inherent biases in laboratory-based surveillance. Yet, little empirical evidence exists to support this notion, remains largely an intuitive, though highly plausible hypothesis. Our interdisciplinary study uses WES data show for underreporting of SARS-CoV-2 the context measurable statistically significant associations between economic conditions incidence testing rates. We obtained...

Nighttime lights imagery is obtained using a low-light sensor on satellite that captures quantitative measurements of light emissions at night. The value this data artificial highlight human activity. It provides unique perspective the spread our activities across world. has been used to estimate economic activity, as an alternative traditional metrics such Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Previous studies nighttime focused relationship between intensity and GDP determine if correlated strongly...
