It doesn't tell you the number of tests - but it tells you the percentage of all of the tests. The unvaxxed comprised 23% of the tests taken.

Actually this table represents what newtovenice was saying. The unvaxxed were 16% of the total positive tests. The vaccinated had 84% of the total positive tests.
You're missing what I'm saying. Without some kind of survey, or testing random people and then surveying them if they went and got tested on their own, there's no way to know. I'm saying that someone that's corona-vaccinated, is more likely to run out and go get tested if they even think they might be sick.

I wonder who is being tested now. Tests are not required for travel almost anywhere but E. Asia.

So maybe for hospital admissions and certain travelers? I doubt anyone else cares if they have COVID or not.

Interesting to note that the ones fully boosted or close to it -- represent only 12$ of the total positives.

People who have been exposed and not feeling well go get tested.

Just had a couple (good friends) who woke up not feeling well, went and got tested and they were positive.
They fall into the bracket of having just 2 boosters I think -- so over a year since tested. That seems to be the highest group of positives.

If you feel sick and want the meds you have to get a COVID test.

I'm surprised the rates aren't much higher. I would think the ONLY people getting tested are the ones who are pretty sure they are sick.

There are other viruses circulating too.

THIS!!! and the data isn't that supportive of no vaccine.
It seems to suggest if you got all the boosters and are all up to date there is a lower rate of positivity.

But hard to use this data as any REAL measure.

Yes we are. I had no reaction to all the other vaccines, immunizations I've taken over the years so I go and get all the jabs.

20% for those recently vaccinated within the last 3 months.

Walgreens COVID-19 Index

I remember when I was supposed to die for not getting the vaccine.
Hummmmmm
