You don't know the actual positive test percentage unless all tests including negatives are reported. I don't know how long this has been going on but until problem is corrected state wide I will look at positive percentage rate with skepticism. The positive test number is probably accurate, but without all negative results reported the positive percentage is probably lower than what's reported.
