And they point to two limitations in their data:
--not all testing locations report negatives
--not all testing locations report results

Then there's any lag between tests and results.

Saying that the 65k is crucial when we know this is a lower bound with the error increasing gradually for a few weeks (and so simply rounding down can only increase the error) seems petty.
