FTA: She noted the error doesn’t affect data on key metrics such as the number of confirmed cases and deaths.

Fire her immediately. She is too stupid to retrain. Of course it affects the KEY METRIC of percentage of people testing positive. The enemedia will use whichever KEY METRIC makes President Trump or the Republican governmors look bad on any given day.

**************************************************
How could double counting of tests not have affected the “confirmed case” counts since a number of the double counted tests would have been positive result tests which is their definition of a “case”.

The # of tests and the # of negatives are pretty useless statistics.

THIS is why people who publish the numbers, and the ones who believe the numbers, are morons. The numbers are meaningless. Yet, the unwashed eagerly wait to see the latest tally, as if it’s like winning the lottery.

So that many were “double” counted, i.e., twice. What’s the word/phrase for the tests on one person that were done 28+ times and were counted as 28 separate cases?

Shemdemic, Plandemic, Scamdemic - Dem Panic!

The demsheviks and assorted assisting evil people are more than willing to destroy the country, destroy livelihoods, destroy peoples’ freedom and cause the actual deaths of countless thousands of people, just to be able to cheat on the elections so their cutout zombie can win. They know Trump means their loss of power, their exposure, and many arrests.

And how many of those 200,000 were positive?

I work in a hospital lab that processes these tests and sends them to Lab Corp. I know for a fact that what they are calling new “cases” are often repeat testing on the same patient.

When the states opened back up and postponed surgeries were being scheduled every patient had to be prescreened for Covid. If they were positive they had to have repeat testing until they were negative before they could go ahead with the surgery. The repeat testing is identified not as an individual patient but as a specimen. Every positive is counted as a new “case” regardless of whether they were duplicates on the same person.

Also, when a positive covid patient is transferred to our hospital from a nursing home or smaller satellite, they must have a repeat test at our facility to verify the positive.
