[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, according to the ND covid webpage - ND is conducting surveillance testing.  Students are,apparently, randomly selected to be tested.  The report to the ND testing site (stadium), and get tested.  Easy.

The problem is that 20 percent of these 2000 random tests are positive.  Those are out of control epidemic numbers.

You are not looking at the data correctly.  As of today there were 16 positive cases of the 2,311 surveillance tests conducted.  That is a 0.7% positivity rate.

You're reading it wrong too, PP. 16 positive surveillance tests out of 1593 surveillance tests conducted. That's a 1% positivity rate. Not a huge difference, but that is the accurate number.

For diagnostic tests the positivity rate is almost 20% (455 out of 2311). Not good... though the % positive will be a much more informative number once there's at least a couple weeks of data. Right now it's being skewed by very high % positive rates from the first couple days of testing.[/quote]
