2 things:
1.
We may be seeing false positive “waves” in the data.
An increase in the positives followed by a slow decline, leading to another peak.
Likely cause: Large amount of false positives on day1. As those FPs return to be re-tested, they are negatives and thus reduce the overall count.
2.
What is test rate/ by person-tests?
How is it that there are enough tests to show positives in the 40K-50K...EVERY day?
I’ve been by several testing spots in my area and there is no long line of people waiting to be tested. /anecdotal

Questions:

1. How do you know they are removed from totals when getting a subsequent "Negative"?

2. MY guess would be that when MLB slugger Joey Gallo was tested 4 times in 10 days--2 Positive and 2 Negative, but NO SYMPTOMS--that this went in the books as 2 positives. (Even though HE NEVER HAD IT).

3. In reviewing the data daily these last several months, I have never felt that "Reversals" of cases were part of the reporting. Certainly I have never seen any negative numbers, even when looking at the County level in some instances.
