    Clarke – the article says that 13% of the tests administered came back positive. 94 tests came back positive yesterday, which would be 13% of the total test given, so that means about 723 tests were given… 94 out of 723 is 13%.

    I’m not questioning the validity of the data, but to keep things in perspective, I’d like to know the total number of tests done and the ratio of positive to negative results. Listing the total number of positive cases since day one gives the public no real info as to the actual virus activity in our area.
