They’re simply extrapolating the percentage from tested samples

Yes of course. But what is the sample size is my question. Is it large enough for high confidence? Are the samples collected randomly from around the country or just specific hot spots, etc? Lots of ways to manipulate data by selection bias among other biases.

IDK the sample size but it needn’t be very large for meaningful data. Whether say a 70% rate is accurate within 1% or 10% doesn’t really mean much in this instance. If the Indian variant is 60% or 80% of cases, it’s still clearly the dominant strain it seems to me.
