You have to wonder how accurate these numbers are now that everyone has the free home testing kits distributed by pharmacies.
ReplyDeleteYes, yours is a concern voiced by many, still until another way of accounting is offered, the best one can do is to just review the 'official numbers' as delivered each week ... though your point is a good one, the province does need to clarify its whole Data review approach at this point of the evolution of the virus.
