I've been reporting on this for weeks and each day more evidence accumulates to prove the fact. But hey, go ahead, keep pretending it doesn't exist and keep taking chances not only with your health and lives but those of your loved ones.
"The significant decrease in data reporting and the nationwide decline in
public testing have left health experts concerned that officials could
be missing viral surges and in the dark about true positivity rates in
the country, given the lack of information."
"Health experts say official counts, which show small upticks, may actually be significantly higher than counted, as millions of Americans, who are taking at-home tests, rarely report their results to local health agencies. In consequence, testing levels are now at their lowest point since June 2020.
"'I think that we're dramatically undercounting cases. We're probably only picking up one in seven or one in eight infections. So when we say there's 30,000 infections a day, it's probably closer to a quarter of a million infections a day,' FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said during an appearance on CBS' 'Face the Nation' on Sunday. 'They're concentrated in the Northeast right now. And that's because a lot of people are testing at home, they're not presenting for definitive PCR tests, so they're not getting counted.'"
