[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test positivity down again today to 4%! Tell me again how MD is doing so poorly that we can't open schools? [/quote]

Because number of positives is going up.

Test positivity is influenced by people getting tested to return to colleges or camp or before an operation.[/quote]
DP. You are an idiot. Of course the number of positives will go up as you increase testing. If you do no testing, your number of positives will be zero. Positivity percentage gives you the true picture.[/quote]

4% test positivity means of all tests done 4% are positive.

If you’re only testing people who are sick with symptoms, of course that number will be very high. Right now we’re at a stage where a lot of people are getting the test because they need to prove they don’t have Covid. For example they’re about to undergo surgery, or they are a high school or college football player hoping to go back to practice. These aren’t people who think they are ill. The more healthy people who are taking the test, the more you’d hope the positivity rate drops! However the number of positives can still be increasing.[/quote]
