For the life of me, I can't see why we haven't done random sampling of people for COVID. The self selection bias skews the data far away from any useful conclusions.

Some of us are very purposefully staying out of testing / reporting so as not to play the government’s games. I would not willingly participate in a random test and end up in their database.
That's fine, but I bet a testing organization could get a significant sample without you. You would be on the self-selection bias, which makes things skew.
