COVID-19 Testing: How are the data calculated?

Posted by tjdog @tjdog, Jun 30, 2020

I’m hearing that if a person tests positive for Covid-19, then is tested again in a couple of days and tests positive again, it’s reported In the statistics as 2 positive tests. Each subsequent positive test for that same person is counted again, even though this person did not test negative between tests. Does anyone know if this is true?

@merpreb @tjdog I came from Hong Kong, population about 7 and a half millions. Confirmed death from Covid is 6. They went through SARS, so when covid hits, they knew what is necessary. The compliance rate for face mask is 97%, unfortunately, the other 3% who did not comply are mostly Caucasians. It's hard to believe that some people don't want to take this seriously. That's why we are not seeing a leveling. It's very frustrating. I think some cities are opening up too soon. My county is on the watch list, case number going up and up each day.

@mayofeb2020- It is extremely frustrating. I hate wearing masks but I would hate COVID-19 even more. It seems senseless to argue with people who won't beleive the danger in not wearing a mask. I wish that I had a magic phrase to say.
