Given how contagious omicron and later variants were, no one avoided covid without total isolation. At most you never tested positive.

That's not true but okay. It would take quite the consisten circle of asymptomatic contacts for what you said to be remotely true.

It really just requires people not testing. A runny nose is technically symptomatic, but I doubt most people tested every time they blew there nose more than average.
