My understanding is this is cases identified by GP's rather than by tests from testing centres and hospitals which are reported elsewhere. As most GP's will redirect you to get a test if you have symptoms they are not identifying that many in person themselves.
Someone like @Chalfie might be able to give you a more comprehensive explanation or tell me if I am wrong.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist nut job and I've searched through the thread, I'm hoping someone can explain to me, so I can explain to someone else, why the Public Health England - Statutory Notifications Of Infectious Diseases has Covid at 50 cases this week for England and Wales (page 14) which is below TB at 63 and Mumps at 51?
