State Covid numbers being juiced?
Posted on 8/12/20 at 9:22 am
Posted on 8/12/20 at 9:22 am
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.

Of course they are.

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.

I assume they call everyone a positive case that the contact tracer considers a contact regardless if they ever have symptoms or a positive test.

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.

Correct & everyone must quarantine for 14 days & you cannot go get a test & if negative end quarantine per JBE yesterday

Maybe because they are automatically tested weekly
Maybe because no me wants to assume positives in a nursing home after the shite NY / NJ is getting
Maybe because focusing on community spread “justifies” JBE’s punishment of taxpayers

That should be common sense which of course is no longer common.

If they ever contact me I'm going to really inflate the numbers. How many in your household? 100. We live in a compound.
Sooner or later they will have more positive cases than people in LA.
