Sorry about the confusion

1. And the results?

[Amishman]

3. 45 positive in the state

This is yet one more data point proving the people claiming this is mild and has been in the country for months are UTTERLY FULL OF SHIT.

5. It's wishful thinking, but it's irresponsible

People will go out and about thinking they've already had it and that it's therefore safe for them to not take precautions.

[ooky]

10. It's probably going to be a while before they have anywhere to go.

Hopefully that in itself will keep a lot of them home.

4. 47 tested positive so far

Certainly will be more given some delays in evaluating tests. They have improved turnaround times on results, but still a lag. Last I heard, only one has required hospitalization.

6. And assume those people have infected at least 4-5 others - but likely more

And so on and so on......

2. My doctor's office in Charlotte just emailed me that they have new drive through

testing sites set up. If anybody has symptoms they either call or go to their website and they'll be directed to a testing site.

7. If You Extrapolate Those Numbers To The Other 99% Of The Population And Project A 4% Death Rate.....

they can potentially expect 180 deaths in the State from the virus.

9. Only 45 out of 60,000 positive is less than 1%. What is NC doing different? tia

11. Uh, really? I think the latest total for the entire US is 60 thousand.

from 3 hours ago:

“As we talked about earlier this week, the commercial system is rapidly advancing in the testing capabilities,” explained task force member Admiral Brett Giroir. “As of today our public health laboratories, meaning the CDC and the public health labs, have reported out 31,878 tests so almost 32,000 tests. The clinical laboratories, the Association of Clinical Laboratories, have reported out about 27,000 tests, and most importantly of those 27,000 during the cumulative period of time 8,200 of them were yesterday.”

That brings the total number of tests conducted between these sources to just under 60,000, which Giroir said represents a “dramatic ramp as the high-throughput [testing] comes in.” He also noted that we don’t yet have numbers reported from individual hospital labs that are also conducting testing, and that fellow task force member Ambassador Deborah Birx’s forthcoming legislation will provide more clarity on the actual number, as it rolls all testing sources into a common reporting structure. This reporting arrangement should be in place by early next week, he said.

13. The report I saw may have been in error.

I will recheck

15. NCDHSS reported that they only got 150 test kits initially.

I'd like to know what propaganda source you got the information from. I have been doing daily updates in the North Carolina group. These numbers are wayyyy off.

Please send me a PM. Thanks.
