Now my question and concern...... each time that SAME person is tested and gets a positive result, is that considered a “new case” for each time a test results in a positive result?

If that is truly the case, the amount of positive “cases” is certainly NOT accurate.

Hope I made my point clear.
Starting to think that if you ask 10 scientists you might get 11 answers.
