> I’m going to speculate, just based on human nature, that the vast majority of folks who are not vaxxed are also unlikely to voluntarily go get a test.

Despite being sick for 10 days, the _only_ reason hubs got tested was because I threw a fit (and also because he was too sick to put up much fight).

I have never been tested because there was no reason.

A friend who works for the state was getting tested every week because she was hoping for an asymptomatic case and a couple of paid weeks off. She never got her COVID vacation and now she’s fully vaccinated.

So, I do agree with you about wondering about the test stats. They are going to skew heavily towards happier results than are accurate.
