"We reverse analyze [wastewater] to see if anything in there that doesn't match any lineages," said Johnson. "Very early on there was this [sample] that was different than anything we had seen."
Johnson does not know if the person is contagious, nor does he know how they have managed to stay positive for COVID-19 for such an extended period of time.

Now that the story is out, I wonder if there are people in the area leaving the team some pretty awesome voicemails. "look, I just know it's me, been sending y'all morse code in creamed corn, take me now"

Regardless though this would make a fascinating book or long read. The poo-analysis infrastructure alone would be interesting to learn about.
