Which possibly explains why testing of Sydney’s sewerage has detected an upsurge in cocaine and other drug use, but not necessarily in the CBD.
Now Outsider is not one to be alarmist, but he notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has not only largely emptied out Sydney’s Barangaroo and Martin Place but given rise to Government authorities testing sewage much more often than is normally the case.
This, of course, has not only helped them detect fragments of the coronavirus in various suburbs but also detect those who may have had runny noses for reasons other than COVID-19.
Now Outsider doesn’t want to rain on anyone’s parade in these difficult times, but when it comes to tracking the coronavirus and illicit drug use, it seems clear to him that the health authorities really know their shit.
Outsider is not sure how accurate the testing is with respect to traces of 21-year-old Knockando but he is prepared to answer any questions the authorities may care to put to him.
Bottoms up!
