People with mild symptoms who self-isolate are not being tested. Many will have the virus. Therefore it's pointless to keep posting about the number tested. Cheers.

Funny the uk government sees fit to update numbers at 2pm daily.
Is it simply a myth that the world is turning upside down because of a declared pandemic and is reacting to what an exteacher regards as pointless numbers? Those that are asymptomatic or suffering mildly   cannot be quantified, but in terms of treatment are unimportant. The rate of increase of hospitalisations, the numbers requiring acute care and the mortality rate are the vital numbers for maximising the use of resources and driving planning measures to attempt to control the rate of increase.
Perhaps our keyboard warrior feels he should be in charge. No doubt he would use a Ouija board as a planning tool as hard data is "pointless."
