MY MATH IS  FAILING!

WHY  THE  NUMBERS  DON'T ADD UO???

Add these  two  numbers:
POSITIVE  TOTAL  CASES
NEGATIVE TOTAL CASES

They  dont reflect  the  total  number  performed  tests.

So  what  about  4 million  missing  test  results  per this   data?  Inconclusive?

Please  try  to  balance  the  numbers  below.  Good  luck. You  will  need  it;  Unless  you   know   better  math  then  us  all:

It’s the new math - it doesn’t conform to your outdated standards.[/quote]

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. [b]A person will be counted multiple times in testing volume data but not in
positive or negative case numbers.

Still FIVE MILLION people tests is a whole LOT of double testing. WHOLE LOT! [/quote]

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