So all asymptomatic people that tested positive were in contact with someone that did to get a test, were part of workplace testing programs, or fibbed they had symptoms to get tested and genuinely had it?

Separate from the main test and trace system there is an ONS survey where people are randomly* selected and tested. This data is from that.

Yep, we're doing that. Get tested every Thursday. Think @Greenbank is too.

5 weeks at weekly, then 11 months at monthly.

We're on month 2 or 3 of the 11.

Just the "do you have it" test. We weren't picked for the extra antibody/antigen "have you had it" blood test.

I had anosmia a couple of months before we started the ONS testing so there's a chance I had it (and was otherwise asymptomatic) but I'll never know since anosmia is not limited to just SARS-Cov-2.
