To show how useless the daily "new cases" number is from Twitter, let's look at 8/12. According to the updated LDH site tab "New Cases By Lab Collection Date", there were 903 new cases on 8/12. A 9.4% positive rate = 9606 tests to get 903 positives.
On 8/12, LDH announced that "Since yesterday, 30,045 new tests have been reported to the state, bringing the total number of tests to 1,598,609"
So more than 2/3 of the tests reported for that day were backdated and not actually for that day.
Are you seriously just figuring this out? Did you think all this data was accurate to the day?
Do you not know people who have been tested? Takes almost two weeks to get the results back.

ren't employers required to offer 2 weeks of covid related sick leave? I guess that only applies to companies under 500 employees.

Last week they moved it to Wednesday, which drove down the % positive.

It won't be. Problem here is if things get re-opened, there will be an increase in positive cases. So we re-open for a couple weeks then BAM he will shut it back down.
Based on his track record, how else would this go?

Is this a rolling average. Why are the state numbers so much higher?
b/c those numbers posted are the "official" numbers where the backdating is taken into account... numbers change as the tests that are submitted to the state are filed to the correct date
these numbers aren't even "final"... but they're close enough to use as an official report
you have to remember... the daily reports are just all lumped together... but that weekly report is the tests correctly filed (mostly)

LDH's numbers are higher because they claim to produce the percentage of number of positive cases for the specific date to the number of tests for that date. It supposedly accounts for the back dating, but you cannot find the historical data for the test dates
The info in the OP does not back date the numbers, it tracks the change from day-to-day.

Not at all, just using a day that we have "hard" numbers for as an example, calm down

Is that really true anymore? I actually got tested last week, I had all of the hallmark symptoms minus the loss of smell/taste. Talked to my doctor on Wed afternoon, got tested at the BR Clinic testing site on Perkins on Thursday morning. My result got posted to the doc on Friday evening around 6 pm, they called me yesterday morning to tell me I was negative.

You honestly believe there won’t be a spike from schools opening back up?
UNC went from 2.6% to 13.6% in a week.

Considering testing on a whole is down, probably not.
And it was never really two weeks i dont think, more like a week to 10 days.

Schools will probably cause a bump, but I'm not aware of any place that has suffered multiple massive spikes. Pretty much the entire state of louisiana has been hit, so we'll see if cases skyrocket again. I kind of think they'll increase but not nearly as much as people are predicting.
