Key points | 重要觀點:
- " ... as testing dropped off, the wastewater measurements separated — showing new hills that weren’t visible from official testing data" | 隨著新冠檢測的減少，廢水測量結果——顯示了官方檢測資料中看不到的新山丘。
- "... biologists tracking the Covid pandemic forecast a long purgatory..." | 追踪新冠大流行的生物學家預測，一場漫長的煉獄將到來。
- "It would also be a public health service to make sure that the data is presented simply and clearly, so that people can check it as effortlessly as they do the weather forecast. And just as with the weather, regular “Covid forecasts” should be featured on the local news — especially when a disaster is on the way." | 這也將是一項公共衛生服務，以確保資料的呈現簡單明了，以便人們可以像查看天氣預報一樣輕鬆查看資料。就像天氣一樣，定期的“新冠病毒預報”應該出現在當地新聞中——尤其是在災難即將來臨的時候。
