Without dashboards - and perhaps the hypertesting with oversensitive PCR tests and the over-attribution - people would've hardly noticed COVID.

Japan did do a lot right - no lockdown and no hypertesting. Other than masking, not bad. (Of note, they also masked like crazy in a big flu year in 2019 to no apparent effect.)

Option #3: COV2 has receded to non-dominant levels and we're seeing essentially normal waves of other respiratory pathogens, in some places with overascertainment from COVID-era hypertesting and panic-driven care-seeking. This would explain why pos% peaks are normal.
The recent surges of respiratory viruses have been blamed on 2 causes: 1. Reduced circulation of bugs during the pandemic having led to lower population immunisation ('immunity debt') 2. Covid infection causing some form of immunosuppression ('airborne HIV') 1/

Israel answered that by exempting vaggsed from tests and hypertesting unvaggsed - same outcome, vaggs negligible impact...

*why* are boosted testing at higher rates? my #1 suspicion is it has to do w/testing rates, w/boosted comparatively hypertesting & #2 full vax may have higher rate of nat immunity than boosted- any study would need to adjust for these to see if boosting does increase inf risk

Another monster testing day in MoCo pushes 7-day test volume to highest point since the week before Christmas. Hypertesting moves county into CDC "medium" despite hospital utilization barely budging.

The dumbification of questing just really makes me feel like devs care way too much about hypertesting focus groups instead of caring about WHY the player is playing their game. It feels like over time our intelligence has been respected less and less

Given hypertesting and any-cause-of-cause-after-a-positive counting, the opposite is true for COVID -- which is why the using NCHS count as a floor in the burden model creates an upward bias.

The burden estimates are the best measure of flu for many reasons explained by CDC: cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/why… Given hypertesting and the any-cause-of-death-after-positive-test definition, we have the opposite problem of overascertainment for COVID.

They are hypertesting. We are not. In any case, by this time most us hv been infected. Unnecessary panic & stupid commercial & livelihood restrictions.

We're seeing some anomalous hints like this in some places. It can occur if there is hypertesting in young/healthy cohorts (e.g. kids/schools) where the cases become over-representative and obscure the community peak.

School hypertesting.

Replying to @alexjahangir
when citing cases among younger cohorts, don't forget to control for testing rates which are almost twice that of adults.
