He's literally lying to our faces. They do not use a unique identifier to de-dupe positive tests. If someone takes 5 tests and tests positive each time, it is recorded as 5 positive cases.

They do de-dup, but it's on the back end. If John Smith gets tested 5 times and receives 5 positive tests, each of those tests are counted as a new case. Once LDH de-dups, 4 of those tests will be removed from the "total cases" figure, but by that time nobody cares. New cases is the figure everyone is watching and the figure that gets reported. That figure undoubtedly is inflated do to multiple positive tests from the same individuals.
