Okay, the Dashboard numbers came in, and I have a question.

They were late in posting today and I did notice a big change for my county. Yesterday the total number of tests taken in the county was 11330. But, today, the number of tests for the county is 2236. It was reduced considerably, which doesn't make them look good at all, because percentage positives are now over 19%.

So, does anyone know why they reset the number of tests?

I think numbers coming from the federal government are going to be sketchy captain queeg May 2020 #2

And some states as well. Like FL, TX, WI. Not sure I’d trust their numbers either.

A few days ago our county # went from 40+ to almost 500. First I panicked, then looked at the number from the county health dept. I don’t know where the livescience got their numbers but they weren’t right.

Maybe check your county health dept for #s
