Nobody knows for sure. But clearly a lot of cases are not showing up in the official stats.
A lot of people are not gonna line up for 5 hours to get tested.
Home testing kits don’t show up in the stats at all in NSW.
Even if you create an app like in Victoria most people won’t bother to upload their results.
And anyway there are no kits left in the shops to buy anyway
Then there are people who won’t bother getting tested because they only have mild symptoms.
And then there are people who won’t get tested because a positive result will mean they have to quarantine and can’t work, travel etc.
So hundreds of thousands of covid positive people are not showing up in the official stats.
With such high daily figures most of the population is gonna get covid now.
Unless you lock yourself in your home and don’t allow any visitors you are most likely gonna get it.
Best thing you can do is get vaxed and get the booster and hopefully you will only have mild symptoms, which is the case with the vast majority of vaxed people.
