Covid count

[Durian Fiend]

Interestingly, the CDC counts and tracks all positive COVID tests of the unvaccinated, even when there is no illness.  There is no effort to determine if it is a false positive or not.

However, they only count and track breakthrough infections (covid positive of an individual who is fully vaccinated) if the individual is hospitalized or dies.   


How's that for massaged data?

Per the link provided, "identifying and investigating" from the CDC are the key words.  The local and state tallies that get added to the national numbers on a daily or weekly basis most definitely count all breakthrough cases that are discovered by testing.   Who knows, there may be many more breakthrough cases occurring but they're not getting tested because persons are asymptomatic.   

The NY Yankees and those Texas Democrats are examples of people being subject to testing due to their job requirements.  Without such requirements most if not all of them wouldn't have bothered to test since they exhibited no symptoms.
