It definitely affects accuracy of infection rates, but would seem to have no bearing on total number of positive tests. To call this "fraud" is extremely misleading & biased.

Arguing with a strawman again? Please quote me where I said it was fraud. I found out about this before the media was on it and don't need any lectures. Here is what I said in the thread I started about the errors.
There is a problem in that 100s of Florida labs are only reporting positive tests, not negative tests. This doesn't mean the total for positive tests is inaccurate, it means the percentage of positive test they show every day on the dashboard is inaccurate. If you don't report negative tests, your percentage of positives will be higher than it really is.
