A friend with a family of 5 has 3 members test positive and 2 negative.
Two days later the state trackers call him about his positive test, asking how many family members are in his household.
He tells them 5 and that 3 are positive and two negative.

The state tracker says, "No, that is 5 positives and that is how it will be reported."

He contacted the Attorney General's office and was told, "We know."

Don't ask ridiculous questions that you know the answers to.

That’s just a start. COVID stats are inconsistent /incomprehensible, designed to keep the pandemic going and the public in the dark.

If other areas are doing this, it would explain the infection numbers in the Hispanic community.

If it's linked to some type of federal funding, the answer is always yes.

That is why people are not talking to the contact tracers. I would guess their incentives are based on positive cases. They are being coached to dig in and not let the people off the phone without giving them information, if they dont get information they probably don't make near as much.

Louisiana typically does the manipulation with the budget to always show a deficit in order to get a new tax passed.

Now, we're applying the same scheme to covid tally's in order to justify something... not sure what yet, but when we find out, I am sure it'll suck worse than this flu.

So, in the community, where they are concerned with community spread, if 1 person in a household tests positive; then everyone in the house is considered positive as a result of community spread.

But, in nursing homes, they only count the individual that tested positive as positive, because these individuals would not fall under community spread?

So what is the lesson that we can all learn from this? Do not take any of their fricking tests.

George Costanza - “it’s not a lie, if you believe it.”

Libtards believe there is no objective truth. JThere is only perception. That is the cultish hell they live in and which they are trying to force upon us.

When 50-60- percent of the tests are false positives they are worthless for the general public. Only test those who are sick and retest them in a few days.

It is truly mystifying.
