The ATK's that aren't counted have miraculously and deceivingly brought the (reported) numbers of infections down.

But looking at the number of deaths over the last weeks that's still 4.500-5.500 per month

Let's wait until they introduce a new test for that too

Hat's off to The Thaiger and Caitlin (if she's the one who did it) on the new graphics formatting (at least first time I've seen them).  Much easier to see and read and compare province to province.

Well done.  A great deal better than the previous ones (from NTB?).

I don't think the ATKs are to come in to play unless they register a positive, in which case the person is given a PCR test. At least that's what they said was going to happen.

I don't think ATKs are included in the numbers, either.

ATK's earlier in the week were running at 2500 a day and the same action was undertaken without PCR test confirmation. If around 40% was positive (same as PCR) that should add 1000 to the numbers of infections, but they don't add them.

I would assume as well that they do far more than 2500 a day, as otherwise those 8.5m ATK's will last 10 years, and their already questionable reliability would be worse after expiration date...

They should only add if the PCR results are positive, too.

But they don't confirm with PCR. And that's how they manipulate the numbers down...
