Northam is either confused, or has no idea how Virginia reporting/testing works.
Virginia reports total testing completed and unique persons tested.
Total people tested: 122,788
Unique people tested: 111,441
How can someone who's a doctor be SO STUPID? I just don't understand him.
C’mon. This is a guy who gave a photo of himself in a KLAN hood to his med school yearbook committee! A guy who actually said “if you’ve ever worn blackface you know how hard it is to wipe off”. A guy who almost moonwalked at a press conference to “prove” he wasn’t racist.
You think that’s a guy capable of good decisions?
Really?

Somebody has to be last in every med school class. Scary.

Everyone needs to read this. So shocking ! I really wish the CDC or another scientific body would get involved and set them straight. Comparing apples to apples should be something anyone can understand. How much longer are we stuck with this governor?

It seems like the person who initially tests negative would be tested again if they still have symptoms... so you would have done two tests and obtained likely two different results... or not. But, if someone is positive the first time, I can't imagine why they would be tested again.
A person who has previously tested positive is tested once again when they display no more symptoms to verify that they are in fact COVID free. You must pass two COVID tests taken on different days to be declared 'recovered' in most states. So that being said, most people who test positive for COVID will take at a minimum, three tests. The one that diagnosed them as a COVID patient, and then two to be taken off of COVID protocol.
What this report infers is that those three tests will simply be lumped in the tests administered and number of persons infected sub groups. What the data allows for VA to do now is to collect all of the data and differentiate between unique persons being tested. I suppose the Governor may have some reason that he does not want that degree of specificity, but he has it for the time being and certainly his department of health can maintain in.

They feel better, they get re-tested, still shows positive= they remain in quarantine.

He was explaining the count of the total number of tests given as to why our testing numbers looked low compared to other states. Not the count for total number of positive patients.
So the number of tests now do not equal the number of positive and negative patients anymore but rather the actual number of tests conducted.
