And they are at it again:

Georgia’s COVID-19 positive rate is higher than what state reports. Here’s why.




https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ledger-enquirer.com/news/coronavirus/article242831786.html


"A representative for the Georgia Department of Public Health confirmed Monday that data on its website listing the total number of tests performed includes both antibody and viral tests for the novel coronavirus. The two tests are not the same. Antibody tests tell signs of previous infections while viral tests identify those who are currently infected.

“You’re putting apples and oranges together and calling them oranges,” said Dr. Harry J. Heiman, a clinical associate professor at Georgia State University’s School of Public Health. “You’re mixing two different tests. ...All that does is over-inflate the testing number.
“If anything, it skews those numbers to make it appear like the level of disease relative to testing is actually dropping much more dramatically than it is.”

The acknowledgment comes as Gov. Brian Kemp and other state officials have touted the state’s expanded testing and the declining rate of positive cases over the past several weeks as Georgia works to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Nancy Nydam, a spokesperson for the Georgia health department, said the state received its first antibody test results on April 16.

But it’s unclear how much of the state’s recent testing increases can be attributed to antibody testing. Nydam was unable to provide McClatchy with the number of total antibody tests performed in Georgia since mid-April."

how would anyone tracking or keeping the figures of this statistic NOT have the data id'ing the test as being antibody test or not?


yeah, it's crazy that they would even admit it.  Just freaking lie about it!!!

Came into the office today.   Just a few people here.  We're not schedule to be back until June 1.

Co worker in the plant tested positive for covid-19. He's a welder/installer.

Office's, restrooms, and plant stations and tools went through a Deep Cleaning over the weekend and  are now cleaned 3 times a day.

We have been allowed to return to work, everyone in masks. Everyone was required to get a Covid Test. A positive result will mean an immediate 14 quarantine. They take our temperature before we come into work everyday and keep a log.

We have been told we can remove our masks with a negative test result. While I see little need to wear one in my office, out in the shop is a different matter because of the close proximity of others.

I see this becoming the new normal.

Until we get a vaccine and treatment plans.

Time to get rid of the mask in my opinion.

But if they do that, they can't control you.

The masks are a visual reminder that we should overreact.
They seem to be working.

The best part is exactly what the video is making fun of, happens in the comments
The video is accurate and inaccurate. 

I don't trust either government, but the fact is the US acted slowly at first, and thenremoved restrictions too soon to have controlled the virus, so it was all a waste of productivity and money (trillions).

Oh well, we're only losing the old and unhealthy...hot, young ladies should survive.
