Nurses here in Miami I spoke with also say the testing is very inaccurate. A lot of false positives being reported.

Do you remember which article and thread that was? I’d be interested in reading it, too.

‘i am just going to say i do not trust these numbers are anywhere accurate’

yes, you’re right, but some of the most important life issues are being determined on the basis of these phony numbers...

Do they even follow up positive test with antibody test? If you get a positive test but end up without antibodies, were you actually infected? CDC is either completely incompetent or intentionally creating a panic.

Whoopie!

1) Are they sick?
2) Outside of the feeble and weak, has anyone died?

Clearly Trump's fault. I guess you'll be voting for Joe Biden then.

A case is defined as someone who tests positive. In normal English, a case is someone who is SICK and under treatment for a disease. This misuse of the meaning of the word is intentional.

A cv19 death is defined as someone who dies, and who tested positive for cv19.

A hospitalization is defined as someone who is in the hospital, and who tests positive for cv19.

Also, the absolute number of “cases” is a useless number. A better number to give would be the ratio of “cases” to the population. I know that half of Americans give up reading at the word “ratio,” but too bad for them.

Actual drugs to help recovery would be helpful too. Remember we have Tamiflu now.

This is the most appropriate comment in this entire thread.

My husband and I were formally UNINVITED to a wedding this weekend !!! Our “not sick” 14-year-old daughter had been somewhere, about 10 days ago ~ where some other “not sick kids” later tested positive. Kids have been FaceTiming. No one is sick.

The parents of the groom insisted we not attend for fear we, the adults who have not been exposed, might infect the wedding couple ~ who are going to MEXICO on their honeymoon, and didn’t want them to get sick, from us, and have to quarantine on their honeymoon. The groom’s family got the skewed info from my own MSM/WHO/CDC- radicalized child who was in the wedding party !!!!

Can’t make this stuff up !

The reason Florida saw an uptick in positive cases is because they also had a record-breaking number of tests that were conducted.

And, as per your second image, "People tested on multiple days will be included for each day a new result was received".

So, many of the "new cases" will really be old cases where the doc kept ordering tests to see if the infection was over yet.

I live in FL and only within the past two weeks have I heard of anyone in my circles that has gotten it. He is in late 50s and was over it in a few days with some aches and pains and sniffles...he did say he lost sense of taste then. He was over it within a week.

I wonder if a bunch of COVID-positive liberals think it’s fun to game the system and have organized to get tested once a day. Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

What it is showing is that there was a herd immunity functioning nicely before the stupid shutdown. These “new cases” are old cases.

Open everything! Masks prohibited!

Agree 100%. I don’t trust the tests or the reporting.
