Austria fully vax: 61% of full population

Everything seems to be out of proportion as between population, cases (in particular), hospitalisation and IC ratio.
Any ideas?

What are the testing figures like?
We do a lot of LFT and PCRs so more likely to find people with the virus in them and mild/no illness.
Also don't forget how your hospitalisations are measured - is it people who went in with Covid or other things who then tested positive and what about people who caught Covid in hospital? Are they counted? Is the figure a fair test between countries?
