Here's a link to the original announcement:

https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2023/p0922-disease-modeli...

> While some entities monitor factors like viruses detected in waste water, others scoop up data from health insurance companies, healthcare providers, local health departments, and some even gather data from individual search histories, personal communications, social media posts, and health records.

I don't see any mention of waste water monitoring in either the announcement or on the CDC's details page, though I assume that would be part of any national disease monitoring program.

I also don't see any mention of the CDC monitoring your personal communications and search histories, and I assume that would NOT be part of any national disease monitoring program.

This whole article feels like FUD about a (in my opinion) much-needed and valuable federal program.
