The original pre-print ( +https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.19.20105999v1) included a correlation of smoothed versions of the viral RNA data and the epidemiological indicators. In the analyses presented here, we use an error-in-variables time series model to get an estimate of the underlying viral dynamics in sewage and the relationship of this with hospitalizations. This analysis is carried out in the Bayesian framework, allowing us to correctly quantify uncertainty in the estimated associations.
