Every day again I wonder if those numbers for the areas where refugee camps exist, include infection rates from those camps, but I have not been able to find an answer yet…. Who can enlighten me?
I also smell a rat …..whatever happened to the extra 3,000 positive tests from schools on their first day? They have not shown up on ANY figures! Also question where the case of indian virus mutation have gone? They were reported once in patras ………..I suspect foul play by the government …….If I am right they are playing not only with fire but with our lives …..I am 62 years old and still waiting since 22/2/21 for my temporary amka number!!!!!! I just want a jab not a number!!!!!
This is how it works – people take the self-test – if it’s positive they can’t go to work/school and should do a PCR test. What I’m hearing is that most who go to have the PCR come back negative.
The self-tests are recorded on the government website, but they don’t count in the daily figures, unless the PCR test comes back positive. There is also no guarantee that all the people with positive self-tests actually take the PCR test.
The administrator of this blog should know and tell us….
