I only see Louisiana numbers because of this board. Heck I’ve never seen How Mississippi reports their numbers but a backlog of that amount on test conducted two months ago is ludicrous

Today's update includes 1,741 positive cases dating back to as far as 5/28.


Criminal

Why even report 3 month old cases? It also distorts the previous peak that we are already past.

Idiot won’t say anything about us having almost 3x the amount of test as a normal day. He’ll just focus on the number 3600.

Not really. No changes will be made

But lots of smacking and talking down to us.

Also, I thought positives had to be reported immediately. Why are they backlogged Mack to late May, over 2 months ago?


So that JBE can do with the numbers whatever is necessary for him to justify any prolonging

I meant it should be interesting to see what metric he reaches for to tell us how bad it is.

Because the trends for the last 10 days have been very good.

They’re great, but the media and JBE will only talk about total cases because the rest don’t fit the narrative.

They're meaningless though because they aren't up to date. So the positive rate for example will be higher than using this raw data. Doesn't matter that means the positive rate from.previous dates has to be lower to account for that. We need to focus only on the "high" rate right now.

6.5% positive rate


Do the backlog cases factor into this?

The collection dates for most of the cases fall between July 28 and August 4 2020.


1741 old cases back to 5/28, 3615 total cases reported.

That means that 1874 cases are what are technically within that "most" date range.

Somewhat deceptive use of the word "most" there.

Yep. I don't know if you saw yesterday's thread but it made me think about the thread from last week with the daily positive discussion.


Basically it's impossible to have the daily % positives they're reporting based on the gross number they've reported.

It is not just ludicrous. It is indicative of people who are failing miserably at their jobs. Yet, we are going to entrust them to "fix" the issues?
