Even if you say only 1/10 of the people who got Omicron were tested, that's 6.6% of the population. Nowhere near everyone like MDH and some experts are saying.

Responses:

There’s no official word, but there were estimates that more than 90% of people that had Omicron did not know. -- nm - MDH Dec 21, 06:27 3
- this could also be a factor of testing though. Where the US makes people pay more people aren't tested. Up here the lineups for free tests are massive - Beaker Dec 21, 06:37
- So…his 1/10th stat….is accurate. So 6.6% of the nation. That’s … not all. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 06:30 1
  - Also, I'm being very liberal in the 400k case number. That's going back to early September. - Inigo Dec 21, 06:39
oh, i get it, but people forget that not all cases get counted. -- nm - Candie Cane Dec 21, 06:13
