"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 News found that testing sites like one local Centra Care reported that 83 people were tested and all tested positive. Then, NCF Diagnostics in Alachua reported 88 percent of tests were positive."
"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."

    100% positivity means there is not enough testing, for sure. However, positivity as low as 6% or less indicates too much testing, possibly. It all depends upon why the testing is being done.

    Theoretically, more testing means more cases but fewer deaths, not something the left wants publicized!

      Correct.
      They only reported the positives and allowing one to assume all those positives was everyone tested.

      Trouble with the tests: Is the virus active or inactive...the test doesn't say, just that it's present...other factors are, flu shot, colds and normal flu are all corona viruses.
