Because in a nation that has been paralyzed by fear of instant death by the media, 'COVID symptoms' can include anything from a headache, hot flushes ladies, a common cold or even hay fever.
I also wonder why the media has latched on to the opinion piece 'x number of negative tests could actually be positive' whilst overlooking the similar likelihood of 'x number of positive tests could actually be negative'. Whatever happened to balanced reporting? - the media definitely has its own agenda. It jumps on the negative and pumps it up and downplays the positive and pours scepticism all over it. It gives airtime to people who say the lockdown is ending too early and dismisses those who think it's not quick enough.
It now publishes opinion as fact.
This is the real 'Project Fear'
