I believe they also run a programme of random tests regardless of symptoms. A friend of mine was selected for this and they periodically come to his house and take a sample.
Ah ok. Any idea how extensive the programme is and what weight it's given in relation to overall testing?
Obviously if this is the only / main input to the R number then my previous comment is crap and I retract it. Otherwise, I think I gave reasonable examples of how the sampling has been skewed, in good faith.
