@leeco If you visit their webpage they list the number of tests done for each period in the graph. Though the number of tests seems to have remained stable in the last couple of months, they have decreased significantly from 450k during the peak in early 2022. Less people testing themselves likely means that those that do are feeling worse and have a higher chance of actually having covid.
@leeco Interesting. I do wonder if some of this could be attributed to people perhaps testing less "just to be safe" and more now only if they're concerned or feel sick.
