Not

It’s interesting that a community of high risk people, age alone, are constantly arguing about numbers of people who died. If you are over 55 you are high risk. Follow precautions recommended.

As much as 50% tests are false positives, higher in other states.

They removed the people that died of other causes, such as car crash, but tested positive post mortem and they are now separating "regular" flu deaths from the COVID numbers. Appears until now, just about any death has been coded as COVID. With the changes, it proves the death rate is now almost exactly the same as the normal flu, but you won't hear that in most media.
The death rate in the US has been steadily declining, we are almost to a rate that no longer qualifies as a "pandemic". They say "follow the science", but it seems some science is more equal than others.

I am also aware of a person who waited in the car line, filled out the paperwork and handed it in. The person could not wait any longer than the two hours already there and left, not getting tested. Two days later they were notified their results were positive. It's messed up.

Wait..you are saying, the site had their names, they were never tested, then they were notified they tested positive? I’d call that fraud, and they should report that to the Department of Health.
I hope I misread this, because if this is what happened, this needs to be investigated.
What testing site did this occur? You are not the only one reporting such a story.

if only we had a good national testing program.....

[meboyle]

Thank you for reporting this. It needs to be looked at. If the numbers are wrong, and I’m sitting here isolating, that frosts me. I want to have accurate information so I know how to proceed.
You are not the only person reporting this situation. People not being tested who are told they are positive, is fraud, period. I’d report that to the Department of Health.

USA has a real testing mess that is just part of the overall response mess: seems like leadership issue to me.

[Susan1717]

I also know 2 friends in FL that had same thing happen. They each had appointments and cancelled going elsewhere. Both received positive results 2 to 3 days later from a test that never happened. Also told that people testing positive, their jobs are requiring tests every other day til they are negative of which then their quarantine starts. Each test of this same person counts as a new positive. Way inflating.

[cathiehines]

Well, you can add four more people to the list that that happened to. Two different couples we know had the same thing happen to them. Filled out paperwork, stood in line, decided to leave without testing, and got a letter in the mail saying they were positive. This whole thing is a political mess.

[newgirl]

So you think since it is only 140,000 deaths there is nothing to worry about? What about the other conquests that most that have gotten sick have even when they get better, but they have lifelong disability? If nothing else, how about all the folks who got sick and because of the medical bills( WALLET) that will bankrupt them for the rest of their lives.
No big deal here, until it is.

What y'all have got here is someone poopoo-ing on the science and truth.
Daniel Webster said, "There is nothing so powerful as truth."

In addition, bet y'all could litigate the lab doing this. Whether you win or not hardly matters. It would be one more voice singing the praises of believing in fact and truth. Corruption MUST NOT STAND.

We do have good Florida State Testing. I had mine done on last Tuesday at Laurel Manor. They asked for my information (my ID and phone number) when I was ready to be tested. As soon as I gave them the information I was tested right away. They called me the next day with the results. Negative.

[blueash]

How come every report is an "I know someone" story. There are tens of thousands of TOTV users. Did any of you have it happen to yourself? Hundreds or thousands of you have lined up to be tested.

If you really know someone local who claims to have been reported positive when they did not have a test please PM me. I am regularly in touch with the county health authorities who are managing COVID and they would be on top of this in a heartbeat if it were real. I will see to it that your "friends" false report is thoroughly investigated.

Sumter county is NOT notifying people by text. All positive reports are being followed up with telephone calls. If the calls fail then a letter is sent. This may not be true of a private company doing testing, but with HIPAA rules it is extremely unlikely that a text would be considered HIPAA compliant.

I cannot find a single verified online hit for someone who ditched the line and got a positive report. Someone please post a link to such a story, verified.

With seconds I got a nasty reply saying in a round about way I was lying. I had a glut of emotions. How would you respond or not, to this?

We have friends who experienced the same thing. They got tired of waiting and a few days later they received emails stating they tested positive. This is one reason it’s hard to believe the numbers
