Are you sure these are not repeat cases?
Yes we are opening up with 1,125 active cases and you can easily multiply that by 3 to include the undocumented. My niece and here entire house hold was tested positive at a private labs at woods. They called the relevant department in the ministry of health and was told to stay at home. Then no one made any contact with them for several weeks. Every time they called someone will tell them that their names are not listed. After 6 weeks they got someone private again to come to their home and did the test, which all came back negative. They called again the ministry of health and still they told them they were not listed. They went to the Lab and confronted them and asked why they do not report their names to the authorities. The lab told them that the health officials suppose to send for the list but have not been doing so. Friends we live in an computer age where communication is done so simple electronically. These are the stories that turn off people from our health system and anything they say to you.
Inquiring minds- very good question. Are they keeping records? Can they say if someone caught it twice and which variant. I know that Dr.Simon is doing a great job in testing but what about the IT, the collection of data and referencing as you suggested.
