“We were given 150 test kits, and we’ve gone through already 50. Today alone, we had double-digit individuals tested,” said Dr. Kathleen Toomey, director of the Georgia Department of Public Health, at a press conference Thursday.

Thanks—yeah I see what happened here.

The chart reports individuals tested, and the Georgia statement did not follow that format (and was vague with “double digits individuals”).

The head of the Port Authority — who has been visiting local airports and other transit facilities — has the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

Cuomo said he himself “could have been in contact” with infected PA executive director Rick Cotton but hasn’t been tested because he’s an “improbable positive,” meaning he isn’t likely to have the virus.

Cotton is now quarantined, the governor told reporters.

The PA chief’s team of aides is being tested now, Cuomo said — as he announced that the state total of confirmed cases is now at 142, or 37 more than Sunday.

GA got 150 test kits vs. NY got 2. That makes no sense. GA must mean 150 individual tests. NY says a test kit has 800 tests. Somewhere along the line, GA got a portion of a whole kit, which also doesn’t make sense.

150 x 800 = 120,000
