. The 200,000 counting error was the total number of tests conducted, not the number of positive test results. There were zero "false positives" in this instance.FYI, NC has only had 145k total COVID cases.
" “The positive cases are reported electronically,” Cohen said in an interview. “Those continue to be accurate. The number that we are correcting today is just the total cumulative lab tests.” "

^ good to know, that's much better. I tried to read the whole article but got sick of the pop-ups in my way so I didn't make it all the way through. I had a feeling I might be missing something.
Also worthwhile note, LabCorp has COVID testing labs in Durham and Burlington, but does testing for the entire east coast, so that total test count number is not just for NC. They're ramping up to about 40k tests a day in Durham, but are currently around 25k a day last I recall.

I just read this, it doesn't state 200K false positives though
Yep, and if you read the next few posts, Johnny points that out and we discuss.
He also mentions how many tests are being done in Durham a day. That's a lot of tests.
I didn't review this article, but when I originally read about it I seem to recall that it was 200K "overreported" tests, but that the number of positives did not change. Either way, it doesn't give warm fuzzies on the whole process and end product of the "information" the public is being provided.
That’s right, testing over reporting, not false positives, which is misleading.
Now, in Florida all you have to do is drive within a mile of a testing center and you will be counted as positive. But that’s Florida, my lovely meth infested former home state.
In fact, we support corrupt officials. Lobbyists are legalized corrupt officials. That's all we need to know about how things are going.

We now know where the most important people in America were from August 6-16, 2020.
Revved by Sturgis Rally, COVID-19 infections move fast, far
Public health departments in at least six states are trying to measure how much and how quickly the coronavirus spread at the rally before people traveled home to over half of the counties in the United States.

Real patriots right there..... SMH
Commence Phase 2.5 - indoor gathering limit increased to 25 - outdoor increased to 50...
Bars still closed..... but I"m off to a brew pub in a bit - which is allowed to open because they make their own beer. But weirdly, places that are still calling themselves "brew pubs" and are actually outsourcing their brewing to someone else are also still allowed to be open.

"The upregulation of hyaluronan synthases and downregulation of hyaluronidases combined with the BK-induced hyperpermeability of the lung microvasculature leads to the formation of a HA-hydrogel that inhibits gas exchange in the alveoli of COVID-19 patients. "
Researchers think they finally found the key to stopping the coronavirus
Several drugs already work as coronavirus therapies, but there’s still no “miracle cure” that can prevent complications and reduce deaths significantly. Some researchers think they’ve …

Thats all made up sciency high falutin' stuff. A high school buddy of mine (expert at opening beer bottles with a rock) told me that its all about using mothballs to stop the virus.Interesting new research:
