Dallas County officials reported 5,361 confirmed cases of the coronavirus on Sunday, close to 5,200 of which came from a backlog of reports from the state health department Saturday.

The county health department said the majority of the 5,195 backlogged cases being reported Sunday — 4,298 — were from tests conducted in July, according to a provisional breakdown. 13 came from March, 149 from April, 80 from May, 52 from June and 603 from August, according to the county.

The new numbers drove the county's seven-day average of newly reported cases up from 605 to 1,251 and increased the 14-day average from 534 to 880.



Officially over it. They’re counting back log cases all the way back to March and April.

Somebody make an argument why it is necessary to report a July positive test in August

Why do I need to know this? Why does anybody?

Dallas County is such a shithole that there has been a huge push not just to Collin County but into Fannin and Grayson counties.

Ranchers are selling out and buying land in Oklahoma.

They’re also counting Black Death and Plague cases from Lower Saxony back to 1531.

The building going on in the entire DFW area is amazing but then, if 1.5 million people move here in a decade that's 150,000 a year. That is a small city.

may not be 1.5 MM but I bet it is something over 1 MM

At least it makes the mortality rate go down.

Is anyone reporting influenza cases this year or did Covid cure influenza?

Bc labs are late to report them and the county probably doesn’t have a time machine to go back in time to report the results on the days they were actually taken.

It’s an imperfect system, and I’d prefer them keep a separate tally that showed the numbers on the dates the tests were taken. Of course this is also flawed but the information doesn’t flow in at real time. There is no perfect solution bc not all tests give results at the same speed and not all places report results at the same speed either. Therefore there will always be lagging numbers.

But at least they are releasing the information and noting where it came from. It isn’t like they are just saying 5361 positive tests were taken yesterday.

At a local level, it's not a problem at all. Every time a backlog is reported, they clearly state it. Even in Louisiana, for the most part. So if you're paying attention locally, and aren't retarded, you'll see the numbers for what they are.

The issue comes when those numbers get rolled to the national numbers. At that level there's no talk of backlog and the national media uses that to OMG IT'S HAPPENING because no one looks at what makes up the national numbers.

The question in my mind is why these test results weren’t reported in a timely manner? Let’s see now, who would have told them to do that?....

This is why the virus is a hoax. It absolutely exists and can kill but the reporting is biased and incorrect.

That's why they disclosed the fact they are backlogs. The problem is and has been testing is not being returned in a timely matter and now the number of tests given per day has dropped significantly. Hence, lower case numbers. The positivity rate is still very high.

Most the phase 11/111 trials going on for the FDA are having problems finding new critical/severe patients. With all the fear you would think they have ten of thousands available.
