FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Hospitals confirm mistakes in Florida’s COVID-19 report
By Robert GuaderramaPublished 16 hours agoUpdated 1 hour ago

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Florida Department of Health released its daily coronavirus testing report showing a statewide positivity rate of 11 percent, but FOX 35 News investigated and quickly noticed some shocking positivity rates.

Countless labs have reported a 100 percent positivity rate, which means every single person tested was positive. Other labs had very high positivity rates. FOX 35 found that testing sites like Centra Care reported that 83 people were tested and all tested positive. Then, NCF Diagnostics in Alachua reported 88 percent of tests were positive.

How could that be? FOX 35 News investigated these astronomical numbers, contacting every local location mentioned in the report.

The report showed that Orlando Health had a 98 percent positivity rate. However, when FOX 35 News contacted the hospital, they confirmed errors in the report. Orlando Health's positivity rate is only 9.4 percent, not 98 percent as in the report.

The report also showed that the Orlando Veteran’s Medical Center had a positivity rate of 76 percent. A spokesperson for the VA told FOX 35 News on Tuesday that this does not reflect their numbers and that the positivity rate for the center is actually 6 percent.

FOX 35 News has yet to hear from the other labs or the Florida Department of Health to explain how the error could have been made on an official report.

FOX 35 News went on to speak with the Florida Department of Health on Tuesday. They confirmed that although private and public laboratories are required to report positive and negative results to the state immediately, some have not. Specifically, they said that some smaller, private labs were not reporting negative test result data to the state.

So the complaint is what? That the number of negative tests is not being reported? It still points to a large spike in the number of people that test positive as Florida has over 12,000 - 15,000 new positive test per day.

If a lab has 100 positive tests and 900 negative test and only reports the 100 positive tests. How many people with positive tests were reported?
This doesn't show that the number of positive tests is wrong in Florida. It only shows that the percentage of those testing positive is lower than being reported.

FL STATE DEPT OF HEALTH, ORLANDO HEALTH, THE VA ARE THE SOURCES OF THE STATS!!!

And you don't seem to understand how total number of positive tests work when the labs are simply not reporting negative tests.

The total number of positive tests remains the same whether the labs report 10% or 100% of their negative tests.

[Trumpet]

Stop posting lies and misinformation. Your desperation to exonerate the Covidiot-in-Chief is palpable, pathetic, and perfidious. Give it up. It just makes you appear to not give a shit about the suffering of others in your state.

Unless, of course, that's what you intend, in which case carry on.

Isn't amazing for someone who claims to be such devout Christian, to be willing to sacafice lives to secure Trump's re-election.

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Read the article and who supplies the stats.
This is what is now in question and being investigated.

I did read the article. It seems you didn't. The concern is with the percentage of tests that are positive because the labs are not reporting the number of negative tests. There is no concern that the number of positive tests being reported is being manipulated in any way.

It seems the Fox station did this to confuse those that are easily confused and don't understand how percentages work. Are you one of those feeble minded people, Stretch?

[Stretch]

your assertion that the dead bodies in the morgue trailers are fake is incorrect

Read the article. It's about cases and false totals.

[Trumpet]

Trumpet and Concart prove you just cannot fix stupid.

Popeye, the fact that you can't post anything worthwhile, means that your brain is in need of repair.

[Poor Richard Saunders]

132 out of 15000 less that 1%..and many of them had MAJOR underlying conditions

People don't die the day they get it. They die 2-3 weeks after they get it. The true numbers won't be known until the pandemic is under control.

Until then, we can look at places that have seen a reduction in cases because it is only after people have recovered that you can compare deaths to cases to get an accurate number.

No, it isn't. It's about errors in the percentages caused by not reporting test with negative results.

After FOX 35 News noticed errors in the state's report on positivity rates,

It seems you have the reading comprehension of a 6 year old.

Smack my head. Some labs aren't reporting negative tests. Which changes the number of cases by....... wait for it..... ZERO. It doesn't change the number of cases. It doesn't change the number of hospitalizations. It doesn't change the number of deaths. What it DOES change is the positive rate. And this was worthy of thread claiming 'major errors'? LOL, considering the OP is functionally retarded, it shouldn't come as a surprise. No clue.

Her desperation to make this look like a hoax is sickening, isn't it? I wonder what she would say if someone said "The death toll of Americans in the Vietnam War is fake, no one really knows exactly how many were killed, and that wall with their names on it is a hoax meant to make us feel guilty for being in the war"? That's exactly what she's doing here, trying to minimize the suffering and the deaths -- because they make DeSantis and #COVID45 look culpable. Which they are.

I bet next time she'll remember to thread-ban me like she usually does on this stupid threads. She hates to be contradicted. If anything, the reported numbers are not showing the true picture of the toll in FL.

"Countless labs have reported a 100 percent positivity rate, which means every single person tested was positive."

The lab does 1,000 tests. 100 tests are positive.

The lab only reports the 100 positive tests. That means the lab reported 100% positivity in reported testing.

The problem is that the lab failed to report that it had 900 negative tests. There were still 100 positives whether the lab reports the negative tests or not. The story goes on to say the state is working with the labs to make sure they report the negative testing in their reporting.

The Department immediately began working with those labs to ensure that all results were being reported

Those decimal points can be a SOB lol.

It seems you have the reading comprehension of a 6 year old.

In other words the numbers reported were skewed. Like the article says. Which is what Stretch posted. Are you a little behind the eight ball here?
