Showing Original Post only (View all)TX tested 330k of which 28k positive. So that's 300k who thought they had it? [View all]
Have noticed this in other stats for other places too - very high rate of negatives. Thought common wisdom was that the people getting tested had symptoms. In fact, haven't many been turned away if they didn't? Unless these stats on #tested include health care workers, public servants, etc who are tested often to insure they are all safe ?
Texas has a population of almost 30 million but has only administered 330,300 coronavirus tests, of which 28,087 have been positive.
