Coronavirus (COVID-19): modelling the epidemic (issue no. 35)

Latest findings in modelling the COVID-19 epidemic in Scotland, both in terms of the spread of the disease through the population (epidemiological modelling) and of the demands it will place on the system, for example in terms of health care requirement

8. Data is aggregated across the sites to produce a national average wastewater Covid graph. To do this, firstly weekly averages are produced for flow-adjusted Covid in wastewater at each site to avoid giving disproportionate weight to data from more-frequently sampled sites. Then a weighted average of these weekly estimates is produced, weighting the contribution of each site by its population, and comparing this to the overall pattern of Scottish positive case rates.
