RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina public health officials have announced a major reporting error in the number of coronavirus tests conducted since the start of the pandemic.
North Carolina previously reported having more than 2 million COVID-19 tests performed.

Why have NOT ‘health officials’ with the power pulled this corporation's license...
Liberals have so destroyed their holy grail of the ‘scientific method’, they find themselves stark naked. NOT trust worthy... totally manipulated ... for the greater cause.
Now follow the spouses. How is this lab linked to Democrats?
So the percentage of confirmed cases vs total tests performed doesn’t effect the data? In what universe?
Gang banger “busses ah cap” in another gang banger.
Both the jailbird and the carcass test positive for Beer Flu afterwards. That’s two COVID cases and one death, right there.
Apparently, the private/and other hospitals in our 3 county area will not accept the so called free test results.
Not sure if this is the same company.
An entire ad campaign that is hurting Trump badly is based on these BS numbers. The truth will be buried.
Well, the gubmint subsidizes COVID 19 cases. Of course you get more of it.
Follow the money!
Right, this is just a FUBAR involving North Carolina numbers.
Now, just imagine that the same erroneous numbers might also be present in other States
where the infection numbers posted could be politically motivated to keep businesses closed, or cancel a convention (?).
Gad, there might actually not be a pandemic !
That is why the only numbers that really count is the number of deaths, and the numbers of covid19 cases in hospital ICU;
all the rest of the numbers is just 'eye candy' to intimidate and coerce into political submission
and wearing masks (a virtual chronic pandemic reminder).
Yep.
Plus insurance companies are pushing hospitals to use the covid diagnosis. With the Fed money, their out going cost are less.
Cui bono, who benefits from from all of these tests/retests/????
Cui bono is a Latin phrase which means “who benefits?”, and which is used to suggest that there is a high probability that those responsible for a certain event are the ones who stand to gain from it.
Demondemic.
GIGO strikes again! The entire statistical tracking of the Wuhan Flu is bogus... Follow the science???
“..doesn’t affect data on key metrics such as the number of confirmed cases and deaths. ..”
I challenge that statement. If 10% were reported positive on the manual counting, wouldn’t another (the same) 10% be counted on the digital? - double counting?? If not, why not??
I am a life long bookkeeper.
I & others like me would NEVER have made such a mistake.
Indeed. Not only, but when testing is done without recording names and addresses and checked against a database to prevent duplicates, then every-time a person tests positive then it can be added to the total. Even though it is denied this is happening, how can it not be? Also, the NYT reported
As it tracks the coronavirus’s spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is combining tests that detect active infection with those that detect recovery from Covid-19 — a system that muddies the picture of the pandemic but raises the percentage of Americans tested... Now that serology tests, which look for antibodies in the blood of people who have recovered, are more widespread, C.D.C. officials said Friday they would work to separate them from the results of diagnostic tests, which detect active infection. One of the agency’s data tracker websites has been lumping them together... And patients who have had both diagnostic and serology tests would be counted twice in the totals. - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/us/politics/coronavirus-tests-cdc.html
Nephew had the virus back at the end of Feb or early March and has tested positive 6 different times since then........They're not sure why but apparently the tests are registering positive due to some remnant of the virus that is still in his body.......
So yea, that's six infections that go into the system that is recording the results...
We're getting huge numbers of people testing positive here in Michigan but there is absolutely no mention of how many decided to be rested and came up negative. They also fail to mention how many of those are asymptomatic or have very little symptoms......It's fear mongering
Two tests for the price one
and get a double reimbursement from the Feds /sarc
This appears to be a PUBLIC company, so the stock filings should be newsworthy.
