Extrapolating from samples that ARE sent in AND lists of symptoms. Of course not every positive sample is sent for testing.
Not every sample? Boy is that ever not an exaggeration. Less than one percent of positives are being tested to confirm variant.
Extrapolating is a euphemism for just making stuff up based on non-existing data, which is what you are doing and then accusing others of doing that. Extrapolations are notoriously inaccurate and have to have very precise initial data for accuracy. The algorithms also have to continually change as more precise data is added. They are using subjective measures for their extrapolations in the case of Covid, which is not supported by the very few reliable extrapolation methods.

If the samples taken are of proper distribution and sampling, 1% would be sufficient for variant estimations.

People who are educated in AND work in statistics are NEVER right.
People on the OT board who hate covid are NEVER wrong.
