So in New Zealand we have reports of covid 19 cases each day. The numbers are from people getting tested.
So the test are to see if someone is infected by sars-cov2 the virus.
Covid 19 is a disease caused by the sars-cov2 virus.
A disease is typically diagnosed by symptoms( sore throat, cold symptoms etc).
People get tested and come back positive for sars-cov2 infection but no symptoms, asymptomatic.
Now do they have covid 19 with no symptoms or just infected with sars-cov2?
Why do all cases syptomatic or not are classed as covid 19?

Covid simply means you have the covid virus, just like you can 'have the flu' and be asymptomatic.

They do work, they just aren't perfect. Your situation highlights how wrong many on ATS are who claim the test finds everything and false positives are very common. It's the opposite, false negatives are much more common, you probably have covid.
They definitely wanted to jack up the numbers and cause fear and panic to strip our rights, I agree.
Kary Mullis, who won a 1993 Nobel Prize for inventing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing process later used to diagnose Coronavirus cases, said that Dr. Anthony Fauci lacks knowledge of medicine and is willing to lie on television. Mullis also admitted in another set of videotaped remarks that a PCR test “doesn’t tell you that you’re sick.”
However, there is a lesser known mystic, at least to the people of America, by the name of Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov.
He prophesied the unity between America and Russia, then the collapse of Russia – due to a betrayal caused by America to turn them over to China. He also prophesied the conversion to a one world monetary system – that of the euro, and that America will be the last place to accept this.

The test can only show you if you have the virus. Colloquially when people say they got covid they refer to the virus.
