Yes, when I look at the numbers from the local hospitals some of the positive values don't fit what we see in the hospital and what they're reporting in the news. I remember when the news was reporting that there were no available beds in the hospitals, but when I went there the floors were empty and they were laying off nurses and doctors.
Yes, there are less patients at the hospitals. Realistically, we're all going to be carriers of the virus. No one is going to be free of the virus. The good news is that most of us won't show any symptoms. I wouldn't worry about it. There are worse bacteria and viruses out there that no one talks about.
Interesting find. Thank you for sharing.Sure does make you wonder

If you scroll down to page 25 of 49 you'll get to the data directly from the testing facilities. I exported the data to Google Sheets so I could easily work with it because I'm a nerd and I love data. Here's a link if you wanted to look at it as well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11C1xeDU9Q6fYXvYcsCKDUzJFbz8wM0ceWYR6PtfmTHo/edit?usp=sharing
There were 465 locations that reported 100% positive results from tests. These locations reported 5,564 total positive cases. Of those, 205 only reported 1 test administered (44%). 137 reported between 2 and 5 total tests administered (29%). 81 reported between 6 and 20 tests administered (17%), and 42 reported 21+ tests administered (9%).
There were 152 locations that reported between 50% and 99%. These locations reported 8,299 total positive cases.
There were 375 locations that reported between 0% and 49%. These locations reported 349,965 total positive cases.
So let's say the 617 locations with 50% and higher positive results were all part of the conspiracy and were sending false information to make the virus look worse than it is. The overall total on the report would drop from 363,828 to 349,965 positive infections. Those 617 locations only accounted for 4% of the grand total on the report.
The top 35 locations on that report account for 292,393 of the positive cases which is 83.5% of the total. The highest percent of positive cases of these 35 is 24% (VIRACOR-EUROFINS LABORATORIES 19,230 Negative, 5,967 Positive, 24% Positive Pct, 25,197 Total tests administered)
So what's more likely, a global conspiracy involving every single country of the world working together to "muzzle" Americans or some smaller facilities are screwing up the data they're reporting while the larger facilities are doing it correctly?
Closer to home Da Sheriff on WWL Radio had a guy call in with his story. Him & his wife went to drivethru testing. They fill out the forms but it was taking way to long for the actual test, so they left. A few days later they got positive results. So they tested pos. without a real test. How many others like that are out there.
Conspiracy or Incompatace.
Are we to assume larger facilities don’t make mistakes?
If I’m reading the numbers correctly, less than 1% were hospitalized and less than 0.2% were deaths.
Page Inconclusive Negative Positive Percentpositive Total
Last 8,839 2,957,751 363,828 11% 3,330,418
First 3,123 2,393,614 291,629 2,688,366
I think everyone makes mistakes. Nobody's perfect but I believe people are trying their best.
I am having a bit of difficulty following that PDF though. If you go to the last page it shows you totals from the facilities. In my spreadsheet, I confirmed the totals so they didn't screw the math up. If you compare it the data on page 1 the numbers are quite a bit lower. So it's possible they discarded 72k positive results from the test centers they needed to get better numbers from for the overall report summary.

If you go by the data on page 1, then 6.5% of the positive cases were hospitalized and 1.5% of positive cases resulted in death.
Also, I decided to grab the latest on hospitalization numbers for all the US and charted them. Doesn't paint a good picture. But odd so many people are currently hospitalized but so few in ICU or on ventilators.
The data is taken from https://covidtracking.com/api/v1/us/daily.csv
So you agree that less than 1% were hospitalized and less than 0.2% were deaths.
The point I’m attempting to make is it seems people like to interpret the numbers to fit their narrative.
I'm not the data analyst that produced the PDF. If I had to guess, the data on page 1 is what they decided is the most accurate data to present. That doesn't show 1% hospitalized and 0.2% deaths. I don't know where you're getting those numbers from because they say they had 19,334 hospitalizations and 4,626 deaths. Even if you divide those numbers by the bigger number (363,828) it's 5% hospitalized and and 1.2% deaths. So I guess you're making the point that you're changing the numbers to fit your narrative?
