CDC's Flawed Coronavirus Testing Data Reporting
The CDC has been remarkably unreliable in terms of reporting and interpreting data on the coronavirus pandemic. The latest example, reported in The Atlantic, is mind-blowing. In reporting the total tests for the virus, they have been including results from both the swab tests and the serology tests.

(About 80% of serology tests, since they are given randomly to asymptomatic people, are negative.) To read the article – “Could the CDC Make That Mistake?” – click here.
