Percent Positive for Covid cases is INCORRECT
Percent positive for total covid cases divided by total tests is NOT CORRECT. Your calculation is OFF. Do the math and you will see that today 7/9 for the 7/8 data is really 13.4% and NOT the shown 11.5%. WHY IS NO ONE CORRECTING THIS ERROR?????

percent positive number with the ** is useless and misleading. has no value in determining current situation. News organizations are reporting this number like it is the percent positive of the daily tests. to show you how meaningless the number is: if we have a million tests that show percent positive at say 14%. you would need to have a million more tests with no positives at all zero in a million and the number will drop to 7%. what is the point.
