Florida hospital admits its COVID positivity rate is 10x lower than first reported


A Florida hospital handling COVID-19 tests confirmed to media this week that its near-100% positivity rate was overstated by a factor of 10, raising already-heightened concerns that numerous labs are over reporting the number of confirmed infections.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management posts a daily coronavirus update on its website, which features a list of the positivity rates of every COVID testing facility in the state. Hundreds of labs and hospitals throughout Florida are regularly testing state residents for the coronavirus.

In recent days, numerous facilities have begun reporting 100% positivity rates, figures significantly higher than the statewide average of around 15%. Many of those labs claim to have tested only one patient, though others with 100% rates report testing dozens and sometimes hundreds of patients.

The inflated numbers come as Florida has been recording record numbers of COVID-19 infections, though an analysis of state data by Just the News last week revealed that the state's recent record-breaking counts of infections may have been overestimated by as much as 30%.

4% mortality rate is kinda high.  Even police officers death rate is like 0.01%. If they all wear vests to go outside we should all wear masks.

You really are an idiot Joe the lying Troll. Do you know why cops wear vests? Obviously it hasn't registered in that tiny brain of yours. Masks won't stop you from getting anything. A mask won't stop a knife or a bullet will it?

If I'm still alive, I'll be your financial backer.

I would welcome that.    They gotta come out sometime is my thinking.

I knew this information last week.  My son lives in Florida.    He watches it all the time.  He is Anti-social distancing and anti mask compliance.

Reading Comprehension? That was 0.0409, not 4%.
So maybe we should all be wearing Kevlar and not masks.

Yeah, math.

What's 0.0409% of 3,296,599 = 1348.308991

Just like the article stated. Where in the Hell did you get 4%?

I want to show you something.    See this product.  35.00 for a box of 50.   

https://www.nurive.com/collections/all-products/products/face-mask

Know what i paid for this a couple years ago when i thought it would be a good idea to buy 6 boxes?    11.00 a box of 50. IF that.    might even have been as low as 9 dollars a box.  I also bought 6 boxes of plastic gloves.    I just got to thinking it would be a good idea.  I use them mostly for painting and woodworking and yard work with poisons.      I will not use them for this Scamdemic.

Are you high? 4% of the number of cases would be 131863.96, that is not 3,296,599.

From dirtbomb:
Number of death.           134,884

     Number of cases.           3,296,599

      That figures a mortality rate at.   0.0409


134k DEATHS

in 3.2M CASES

Is a 4% death rate

If 4% is kinda high, how can you explain the even higher death rate for the six largest liberal run hellholes? New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvanian, California, and New Jersey,  have 1,316,334 cases as of today and 83,664 deaths. Over 6 percent!! That means the other 51 states have only 2.5%. Is it the fact that liberals are in charge and have been for quite some time in those states, or is it because liberals do not know how to govern?

There has got to be a way to blame Trump for 5 of those states sending infected people to the nursing homes? Right?

I agree. It's high. Even 2.5% is high.

Like I said...cops wear vests every time they go out with a .01% death rate.

We should wear masks is all I'm saying.
