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 wonder if a bunch of COVID-positive liberals think its fun to game the system and have organized to get tested once a day. Wouldnt surprise me at all.
You test more you get more “positives”, so in many cases these are not “new cases” as much as they are “newly tested cases” and represent, to a large degree, a lot of folks who have been asymptomatic for some time and will continue to be asymptomatic or have a mild illness.
The only numbers to watch are new fatalities and the death rates per number of cases or per number of million people. The rest is noise because the illness is not fatal to the overwhelming majority of people.
Imagine the public panic the media would have been responsible for if in all the years past they ran daily panic announcements of “new flu cases” (for which no one ever suggested everyone get masked).
Try googling virus DEATH data. It takes some clicking to find it.
I note that they got 150,000 results yesterday. My guess is both those tests, and the positive results, are from prior days.
In Virginia, they track by “day of infection” (they estimate this), and day-of-test, not by “day of report”.
Note also that Miami-Dade is the worst county, and they have a mask law. Meanwhile, places with no mask law are doing well. Of course, Miami-Dade has a lot of people who fail to follow basic rules, like social distancing and washing their hands apparently, and they are protesting a lot, screaming and touching each other.
How dare he have more favorable results than media pet NY Governor Andrew Cuomo!
So ...?
All BS. No State reporting system is that efficient as to be able to provide such information the day after. None. Hell, just the testing for COVID takes longer than a day.
This is all political propaganda.
