"never let a good crisis go to waste"

I believe it was one of our resident medical professional posters that said that the more tests being conducted will boost the number of positive infection numbers on record. If everyone was given "8" test kits and out of those "8" tests, one was positive and the rest negative, the numbers on record would still go up as another infection. For those that panic every time they see on the media that another hundred thousand infections have been reported, take that into consideration. I am not suggesting that covid is not real. I am only suggesting, as has been suggested by others that they need a better system of counting infections.
An expert on here (and we seem to have many) can correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that a person can show NO symptoms of TB, yet still test positive on a TB test. I was told that you could (correct me if I am wrong) test positive for TB yet not have TB. That it could indicate that you had been exposed to TB by someone that you were in contact with. If that makes any sense.
My only interest in COVID reporting has to do with the hospitalizations due ONLY to Covid and the deaths due solely to Covid. This other stuff regarding, he was tested at the hospital when he was admitted for a heart attack, or for a stroke, etc. does not totally mean he died or was hospitalized due to COVID. It might have been a contributing factor, but not the root cause. Kind of like the infamous report about the death of a motorcyclist in an accident being contributed to Covid.
But, I digress once again.
I have no use for a Covid test. I do not need it for employment, a cruise or any other international travel. Am I curious? Why? I was told to have confidence in the vaccination, so I am confident that not only will I not catch COvid but that even if I do, I won't die because of it. I am at an age where I could die from OLD AGE, and I am sure that the powers that be would label the cause as Covid if they test me, but I guess that won't matter much by then.
