But it has happened, and several times I recall early in the pandemic when some of the reporting rules were perhaps not as clear. Whether it’s frequent now…not sure, there was certainly enough media scrutiny generated then to force a greater degree of care for accuracy now.

Of course it has happened and probably will continue to happen. The key is that this isn't a systemic error, but rather providers going against the government's reporting rules (either mistakenly or intentionally). One could imagine mistakes erring in the opposite direction, though nobody is looking for that (nor would it be an easy thing to discover).
