1. They are not reporting all the cases; testing is hard to get.

My daughter and and her husband, and their two-year-old daughter, all have had COVID symptoms, including loss of smell and taste. His were mild (double-vaxed plus booster). My daughter's were mild to moderate (double-vaxed but not yet boostered). My two-year-old granddaughter, of course, was not vaxed at all, and she had some fever and sore throat. They tried very hard to find a place to test them, with no success. Their 8 year old daughter (double-vaxed) so far has been feeling okay. We had to cancel our plans to get together for Christmas, and we are thinking of visiting them this Friday to Saturday (we are both double-vaxxed and boostered). Of course, we will wear masks and rubber gloves and spend a lot of time out on the deck. Anyway, my daughter and son-in-law are highly competent adults, and they could not find a place to test their two-year-old. All the testing sites were filled up or out of tests. I should also say that all of them seem to be improving, and my son-in-law seems to have recovered. By the way, this episode seems to have come from a co-worker of my son-in-law who self-administered a home test but got a false negative result. There are surely many unreported cases.
