The Maryland COVID Dashboard has an FAQ that explains the numbers. Testing Volume Testing volume data represent the static daily total of PCR COVID-19 tests electronically reported. This count does not include test results submitted by labs and other clinical facilities through non-electronic means. Why don't confirmed cases added to persons tested negative equal total test volume? Testing volume is total tests ever administered; it is not the sum of total confirmed cases plus persons tested negative. A person will be counted multiple times in testing volume data but not in positive or negative case numbers. The FAQs can be found here: https://phpa.health.maryland.gov/Documents/faq_covid19_data_dashboard_083120pdf.pdf |

So this should be reflected in numbers somehow??? Otherwise it looks very Swiss cheased. |

Still FIVE MILLION people tests is a whole LOT of double testing. WHOLE LOT! |

| There's nothing missing. The daily report is 23,412 tests reported, 900 new cases, and 5,265 people who have never been tested before testing negative in the batch of tests being reported. |

Well - I personally have to tested every two weeks for my job - going back to about August (all negative by the way). |

Yeah, I don't understand these people either. But figure there will be more herd immunity for me. We need to get the kids back in school first, but I guess Maryland has to open up for as many people as possible to get drunk and spread the Rona on St. Patrick's day. |

LOL. They’re afraid people are going to start having parties again, that they won’t get invited to. |

Wait - are masks no longer required? |

12 - 3 = 15. As an engineer, I am not sure that's right. Let check my slide rule. |

Masks are still required, even by Governor Hogan and his new former-Trump-administration bestie. |

No, I'm afraid the people I have to work with will be out partying with the Rona and will bring it back to work, since I can't get a vaccine yet. I don't care if people have fun, I don't care if people spit at each other maskless, I just don't want to have to work with them. |

Not necessarily. The change is +9 I’m not arguing that this is the case, but as many as 810 people could have been admitted to the hospital yesterday IF 801 people previously in the hospital were discharged. My concern is the number of people vaccinated — which is still quite low, and even lower among some higher risk demographic groups. I think a better plan would be to get all of the teachers vaccinated, get the kids back in schools, and at least get the people in group 2 vaccinated. My ideal would be to aim for opening up by Memorial Day weekend, with every adult who wants one able to be at least partially vaccinated. I don’t disagree with the categories, but there are a lot of very high risk people out there who aren’t yet eligible to even sign up for a vaccine. |
