    Will positive antibody tests be added to the cumulative COVID-19 numbers? Both infected and recovered?

    Also, heard from a nurse friend in a hot zone that if you test positive, that’s a plus one. When you are retested a week later to see if you are clear and the test comes back as positive again then that’s another plus one and you can have as many as 3-4 total case counts coming back to 1 patient.

    Anybody know anything about that? @Jolly @George-K

      Public Health down here is adding antibody tests to the total case level.

      Don't have a clue about the multiple positive being counted multiple times.

        That’s a problem with testing counts not case counts. Many states are tracking samples tested instead of patients. But positive cases are tracked at the individual level since the follow them through to resolution.

        For that reason I’ve never put much faith in the Covid tracking project test data. Too many inconsistencies in how different jurisdictions track things.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

            Again these are test counts not case counts.
