Thank you. Google translated for me.
I looked at the graphs, and I see a yellow label: "Now casting"
Do you understand what this means?

The Austrian level of testing is leaps above what has been available in
Ottawa.   I wish that the debate here was between whether to continue testing
for 2 months or 4 months, rather than whether the entire thing was a hoax.

In Ottawa, we have:
   https://613covid.ca/wastewater/

where we have some researchers from OttawaU.

An irony is that we have really only a single wastewater treatment plant,
it's regularly overloaded (dumping raw sewage!). Many in the community
have over decades criticized having a single non-redundant facility, and
pumping waste water 60km across the region.  We've had significant floods
caused by failures of the pumps.

But, having it all in one place has made it easy to look for the COVID
signal.
