Evaluating the Sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates on College Campuses to Wastewater Surveillance 2020-10-11 .txt text/plain 9751 453 44 Through a Monte Carlo risk analysis, we find that surveillance testing that relies solely on wastewater sampling can be fragile against scenarios with high viral reproductive numbers and high rates of infection of campus community members by outside sources. Such a global analysis would quantify how the variation in infection rates is attributable to each uncertain model parameter and potential decision lever, including, for example, the viral reproduction rate and the rate at which screening tests are administered to the campus population. Similarly to our modification of the traditional individual surveillance testing, the false and true positive results from the wastewater-based screenings are modulated by a noncompliant proportion parameter, fnc. We evaluate the sensitivity of these eight testing strategies, corresponding to the eight values of Ts,ww above, to our assumptions about three critical parameters: the effective reproductive rate, Rt, the number of new infections from exogenous sources each week, Nexo, and the fraction of individuals who are not compliant with quarantine/isolation procedures, fnc. ./cache/cord-333724-a3dufzxt.txt ./txt/cord-333724-a3dufzxt.txt
