How can official government Covid numbers be accurate?

[AventurasEnMadrid]

Last night I went to a mostly Thai frequented nightclub I won't specify but that requires you to take an ATK rapid Covid test before entering. The security guards told me that out of every 100 people who take the test to get into the nightclub, 7 or 8 are turned away because they test positive. How can the official government numbers provided be accurate? I'm making what I consider a very likely assumption when I say that many of the people who test positive before entering a nightclub do not then report it to the government, hospital, other official body....

 

Any thoughts?

Seems to be spreading in the area I live in much faster now than before.   The last couple of years you would occasionally hear of someone getting Covid in the area.  But this year lots of people are getting it.

you also think that millions people died because of the flu ? right ?

Keep believing, this is exactly what they want !

Since the current instructions following a positive RAT self-test is simply to stay home, self-isolate and self-test until negative with no need to report it, who is worried about the statistics?

 

If someone is in doubt about the published numbers being rubbish, why are they going clubbing?

Who said anything about anyone being worried.

OK. If I had said "who cares about the statistics" instead of who is worried about them, would your answer be "who said anything about caring?"

 

Or was your "how can official government covid numbers be accurate" a rhetorical question?
