Texas a casualty of testing delays?
-
Their case count is stable (~7k/day) but testing has fallen off a cliff - from 60k a day to 30k. 50% drop!
It seems that the main cause is testing delays are so bad that physicians in the field quit bothering - if the turnaround time is so high it ceases to be clinically useful. So the hospitals (with better turnaround time) are the only ones testing.
Test positivity rate now at 24%.
Schools open this week, I think.
