Remove Serology Tests from Total per CDC: COVID-19
CDC announced today it goofed. Epidemiologists say tests that detect active infection and those that detect recovery (serology tests) should not e combined when reporting total numbers of cases. Please consider correcting your good dashboard numbers. Thank you.

I totally agree and have posted several comments about this since May 8th. Combining serology / antibody tests with PCR test results make new daily case numbers LESS useful information. Positive antibody / serology tests are NOT indicative of new infections and tell us nothing about whether NEW cases are increasing or decreasing.
