Difference in coronavirus numbers explained.

They used Seminole County as an example so now we know that there are 10 cases, not 7 or 8.

"It’s important to note that the numbers provided by the state might not include some local cases. According to officials with Seminole County Emergency Operations Center, the state database numbers may be delayed by up to 24 to 48 hours, which is why some counties could be reporting more cases than what the state is reporting. For example, according to the FDOH, Seminole County has seven cases Wednesday but county health officials say there are 10 confirmed COVID-19 cases."

1. Bullshit, they are not reporting truthfully plain and simple.

2. I'm afraid you might be right.

The numbers we're getting are the hospital or ER numbers--which means, the number of people who made it over their obstacles and managed to get tested. I'm just conjecturing. If they test positive it will start a line of contact. They'll probably write down the names of the people they came in contact with, and those people will be put on a watch list.

Everyone else that walks in that hospital that isn't suffering from shortness of breath, or whatever other approved markers the hospital sets up, will NOT get tested. And that's the Achilles's Heel of the system.

Again, I'm conjecturing.
