So the CDC is now admitting that they screwed up with a technical issue about compiling and reporting the official count of coronavirus cases. From the Hill:

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged Thursday that it is combining the results from viral and antibody COVID-19 tests when reporting the country’s testing totals, despite marked differences between the tests.

    First reported by NPR’s WLRN station in Miaimi, the practice has drawn ire from U.S. health experts who  say combining the tests inhibits the agency’s ability to discern the country’s actual testing capacity.

Oh for Dog's sake! I'm nowhere nearing being in the medical profession and understand how stupid that is! An antibody test will be positive even if a person had and recovered from Covid-19 all the way back in February!
