Can someone explain the state numbers and how they relate to the numbers we see on LDH?

These numbers really are awesome ever since they have been having 90+% from the past week. These are great numbers and I can’t wait to see how much is going to be opened back up on the 28th

I think this has been updated, if you zoom in it’s clearly under 10%

Is this a rolling average. Why are the state numbers so much higher?

Follow this everyday but first time posting in it. Thanks for doing this everyday OP!

And thanks for posting the tweets everyday. It’s beyond comical how transparent Edwards angle will be based on the tweet statistics that they change up all of the time. Like how they gave the % of under 20 for the first time right before schools opened.

That’s the first time I’ve seen them single out 30-39. Giving us that stat and following it up with 18-29 is the second highest tells me one thing.....

Edwards knows that the numbers are not supporting the bar closures or restaurant restrictions staying in place so now their angle is 18-40 year olds (main age group for bars) are the ones that have it currently so we can not chance opening the bars back up.

Are we running out of people to test? yes

Are people choosing to not be tested? probably

Have people quit freaking out over this? hopefully

Are they still testing with symptoms only? maybe

Is the virus "going away"? hopefully

Would bet it’s a combo of these three things.

Had an employee get tested because they had sniffles. Came back positive. Employee had to use all vacation and sick days to get paid for 14 day quarantine. Missed a week of pay because didn’t have enough hours banked.

Never showed any symptoms other than the one day of congestion. Apologized for getting tested and couldn’t believe a week of pay was missed over this.

People aren’t scared anymore and they aren’t getting tested as much.
