No negative tests updated since August 1st. Just 10 days of data and science missing. No problems updating positive tests, hospitalizations, and deaths, but just can't update negative tests. They say "We are still unable to report new negative test results, and have not since 8/1. Our team is working hard to address these issues and we will post new information as soon as it is available."
Instead of ripping on our government for slow testing, maybe Bill Gates can provide some assistance in getting this data since it sounds like it's a tech issue.
The negative tests should total over 100,000 for that time frame.

The upcoming spin zone will make me dizzy

I've been tested twice in the last month, both negative.

While the negative test result individually is important to receive, reporting them is less useful, really...I mean, it's valuable to know what % of people getting tested are positive/negative, but the important number is how many are becoming infected, not how many are not.

Snake,

Did you wonder why they haven't been able to update the negative tests?

Here, let me google that for you.

"The latest problem, which the state Department of Health has said involves duplicate counts of negative test results, has led the agency to stop publishing daily tallies of negative test results. That number has not been available since Aug. 1.

The agency continues to provide daily updates on positive tests statewide but is “having problems with our de-duplicating processes to ensure we are not over reporting the number of negative tests,” DOH spokesperson Lisa Stromme Warren wrote in an email Monday."

But if it's easier to blame Bill instead of including the above, knock yourself out.

Why would we want to look at the underlying facts, they tend to mess up a good conspiracy theory.

Texas had a huge backlog in reporting the results.

They were required to fax in the results of each test individually. There wasn't enough time in the day to send them, let alone receive them and enter the data.

There wasn't a national reporting method in place to handle anything like this epidemic, nor did the administration set one up when it started.

The states, counties and medical staff at hospitals all set up their own systems. It's amazing as much information was passed on as there was. There were differences that didn't allow the numbers to be tabulated quickly.

Then the conspiracy theories were started because there were errors in the reporting. The errors were typically insignificant to the total numbers reported, but that didn't stop those with an agenda from trying to influence the low IQ crowd. With a good amount of success.

Why would you get tested if you are not sick?

When was the last time we had "flu" testing locations anywhere in this country?

1. So you would know if you might be likely to infect grandma or another loved one. Would've been nice if whoever infected my mom had known they were spreading it. This ain't that hard to understand if you give a rats ass about anyone but yourself.

2. This ain't the flu, stupid.

Because I am not a selfish ignorant asswipe, and don't want to get other people sick if I am carrying the virus.

Sort of.
