Dr. Lisa Piercey from the Department of Health encouraged Tennesseans not to look just at the number of positive cases, but the rate of positive cases. That means the number of confirmed cases divided by the total number of tests reported that day. The positivity rate in Tennessee has stayed around nine or 10% with relative consistency. “This has more to do with batch reporting from labs than actually daily counts,” Piercey said of why the state averages more positive tests at the beginning of a week. “But [the positivity rate] hanging out in the plus or minus 9 percent range which is relatively stable and reassuring.”Miraculous. Real facts and real science from a Public HEALTH Officer, and ACTIONS that support the real science. Placing numbers in correct context! Metrology! The epidemic of sanity is slowly spreading. How many DECADES before it reaches the West Coast? PLEASE, GOD, DO SOMETHING. Later: Some ambiguous semi-positive moves from Britain. Agencies are admitting officially that they've been using completely fraudulent death counts, and Boris says he "doesn't want" another lockdown. "Doesn't want" leaves plenty of wiggle room. But Britain is still totally mandating suicide masks starting next week. The official confession might presage a real change, but no real change yet.
