COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

Interesting thread, especially lately. I actually have a Covid question. Why do they even claim to be tracking Covid cases when there is no way to self report positive Covid home tests? My wife and I tested positive in June. We were vaxxed and barely had any symptoms and are fine now. But there’s no instructions anywhere on what to do if you test positive other than to isolate. I asked friends this. They all had Covid and they had no answer. How many millions have tested positive this summer and nobody know or cares? It’s as though they only want to count the extremely bad cases.
I worked a very large healthcare system a while back, one of our support nurses came down sick, a home test was bought at Walgreens, positive result, employee sent home. CMO of that healthcare system asked us why did we bother testing, that they quit testing and just work through it. So there is that aspect to it also, how many just don't test at all?

Ironically my company requires vaccination or no jobby job, though they send a covid positive employee home half way across the country on a plane who was very sick, smh.
