The data set does not include home tests, yes, but I don't understand your point. The recent historical data from the past two months also does not include home tests. This is a representative sample of data.
Also, hospitalizations and fatalities and are still a reliable indicator of trends regardless of how people are testing.

The point is that it’s appropriate for the city to advise caution, even if rates for hospitalizations and deaths aren’t necessarily surging.
