What a bunch of deceptive schnooks!
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.
“...She noted the error doesn’t affect data on key metrics such as the number of confirmed cases and deaths....”
**************************************************
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.
“She noted the error doesn’t affect data on key metrics such as the number of confirmed cases and deaths”
LOL. Yeah right. Trust me.
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?
Error.
SNORT.
Hopefully, this will help bring in more honest numbers so we know where it’s at.
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.
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?
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.
Well, the gubmint subsidizes COVID 19 cases. Of course you get more of it.
Follow the money!
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.
GIGO strikes again! The entire statistical tracking of the Wuhan Flu is bogus... Follow the science???
