Nova Scotia has the highest weekly COVID death count of the entire pandemic

You've been saying the whole conversation.

Maybe you don't understand how public health works, but there are complex amounts of negotiated protocols that myriad departments have to work from, in an integrated manner. So all of these groups have to agree that - simplified, for example - x% of positive PCR tests indicates that we then do Y, if Y also confirms a meaningful change to covid levels, then recommend policy Z. What I'm saying is that monitoring for covid in wastewater is not, and never has been, data that is part of that chain of events. That doesn't preclude public health from responding to the data at all - as you helpfully demonstrated - but that data hasn't been integrated into the policy procedure, so nobody has an obligation/responsibility to acknowledge it or act on it. Strang confirmed this when asked about in one of the press conferences ages ago, and that hasn't changed.

It's all been reported

Right, but there a difference between between all of what you know coming from reporting, and all of what actually happened being reported. That's the difference between public and private information. Obviously I'm not going to get into private information to prove a point on Reddit. You can choose to believe whatever you want, I know what I know and I draw my conclusions from that.
