I’m pretty sure thanks to these databases now they can identify 60% of the public with DNA samples already provided.

Which is something the general public does not understand. The public believes , based on TV SHOWS, that DNA testing can find EXACT MATCHES.

It cannot. It only finds groupings of certain 'traits' in 'similar' order in a small percentage of a tiny part of the overall DNA information.
