People who stay home with an illness are counted as covied cases. Regardless of whether they have covid or not.

And they wonder why there's so much skepticism out there. This widespread pattern of dishonestly from the authorities is a major catalyst for that. Every time a public health official gets caught lying, people ask themselves "If they're lying about this, what else are they lying about? Why should i trust anything they say going forward?", and a skeptic is born.
It's as if these officials don't understand concepts like the public trust or credibility. You can't keep lying to people and then just expect them to keep believing you. It doesn't work like that.
The majority continues to believe them, though.
Has the world forgotten about the common cold and seasonal flu? I did my coworkers a favor by taking a day off for a cough and runny nose, simply to avoid spreading it to them. It doesn't mean I had covid.
Attend event -> turns out it was a covid outbreak -> are now sick at home
What's the probability the sickness is covid? pretty fucking high.
Good enough for me. Another win for $cience!
You probably have covid in this particular case. Nevertheless, it suits the narrative to just make the assumption that you do. Makes the problem look worse than it is.
It's not like this is the first time that public health officials confirmed that they're making the numbers higher than they actually are. Remember when Toronto Public Health confirmed that anybody that dies with covid is included in the stats of people dying of covid?
Any chance of seeing the whole clip? Two snippets at 24 and 36 seconds don't provide much context. For example when is this from? Is she talking about people who attended a spreader event like a rally, rodeo, or celebration?
