(33,992 posts)That would be 641,000 people infected.
Scrolling through the twitter thread & responses, I think what you mean is that of those tested, 20% are returning positive results. That's a lot different than a 20% infection rate.

(33,992 posts)20% is the test positivity rate, not the infection rate.
The infection rate for Utah is 1.2 (not percent, just 1.2). It means that each person with COVID will infect approximately 1.2 additional people.
UTAH
On average, each person in Utah with COVID is infecting 1.21 other people. As such, the total number of active cases in Utah is growing at an unsustainable rate. If this trend continues, the hospital system may become overloaded. Caution is warranted.
