Why is the state counting both “OUT OF TN” and “PENDING” as confirmed positive results for Tennessee? If they are “OUT OF TN”, then that means they are in another state. So is that other state also counting them?
Assuming that all the people who were tested showed “symptoms” – since we have been told not to get a test just because we want one…that means less than 10% of people with symptoms significant enough to justify a test are positive. Meanwhile, despite the 90%+ negative test rate for those with actual symptoms, we are also told that “even though you don’t feel bad or have any symptoms you could be an infected carrier”.
If the state is goosestep following their CDC/Bill Gates masters orders….how would they know, since they are not “wasting” tests on people without symptoms?
And who are the “All other commercial and private laboratories”? Are all of those tests listed performed within TN? The vast majority of the positive tests are coming from them. It was nice to see the amount of tests they have performed added yesterday. It confirms the less than 10% positive rate for people with symptoms that the state is seeing.
