Question about this new development, combining positive test cases and anti-body tests.
I know this has to do with CDC numbers, but an authority just mentioned that there are states that might be doing the same thing. And Florida was mentioned as one of the states that was engaged in this practice.
So, how, exactly, are they using this total? For example, on the Covid Dashboard, if you hit a county on the map, it will show you whether a county falls within a target range. A positive target range is in the green and I think the desired percentage is something below 4%. In other words, we have been assuming that for every 100 positive cases, there are no more than 3 people testing positive.
Well, are they saying that the state has been putting their finger on the scale by bolstering the total numbers by throwing in the number of anti-body tests? Is the denominator bogusly inflated?
