Since many folks don’t freak out about diarrhea. Those that tend to get really sick might be picked up by disease surveillance but in general folks don’t go to the dr because they are pooing a lot. There is also a lag time between infection and onset of illness so it is challenging for the epidemiologists to track.

So the numbers tend to be an indicator and a poor one at that.
