As many as 2 million tests in Poland beyond the statistics and control of the Sanepid

Only in December, Poles spent PLN 37 million on covid tests in pharmacies. This is a rough estimate based on the number of tests sold and the average lowest test price in the four months of 2021.
According to the data of the analytical company PEX PharmaSequence, which was reached by 300gospodarka portal, in total, from the beginning of the school year to New Year's Eve, Poles themselves bought over 1.3 million tests in pharmacies. According to the forecast, almost 2 million such tests were sold in January this year due to the fact that Omikron is coming.
We tend not to spend money on something we don't want to use, so it can be assumed that so many tests have been or will be done at home or in the workplace. Is it possible, then, that Poles get sick, but it is not visible in the system?
According to government statistics, patients account for an average of 20 percent of all tested. If so, it can be assumed that several hundred thousand infections may result from almost 2 million tests.
