FOX 35 Orlando ^ | July 13, 2020 | Robert Guaderrama

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Florida Department of Health released its daily coronavirus testing report showing a statewide positivity rate of 11 percent, but FOX 35 News investigated and quickly noticed some shocking positivity rates. …

The report showed that Orlando Health had a 98 percent positivity rate. However, when FOX 35 News contacted the hospital, they confirmed errors in the report. Orlando Health's positivity rate is only 9.4 percent, not 98 percent as in the report.

The report also showed that the Orlando Veteran’s Medical Center had a positivity rate of 76 percent. A spokesperson for the VA told FOX 35 News on Tuesday that this does not reflect their numbers and that the positivity rate for the center is actually 6 percent.

There is no way this is just incompetency.

Just a decimal error.

A mere decimal error. Move along people.

This is evidence of insurance fraud against the U.S. government. Outrageously high reimbursement rates are paid if a patient has COVID-19. Some people will be going to prison.

But let’s not lose sight of the fact that 120 million Americans have died from this. Joe Biden told me so.

Yes, just a decimal point error, with some additional addition errors. Nothing to see here, just the usual blatant fraud from one party for continuing the mass plan-demic.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

It’s that racist math they’ve been talking about and taking issue with. You know, 2 + 2 = 5, not 4.

This article is an example of something investigative journalists never do these days: investigating.

Close enough for Government work.

I think De Santis has some enemies in the Health Dept. I vaguely recall that something like this had happened earlier in Broward County (famous for election fraud and every other kind of fraud, and sworn enemies of De Santis).

They want to make it look bad.

It’s intentional propaganda and lies, intended to benefit the Communist Party (aka “Democrat” Party). Always ask, ‘Cui Bono’? (Who Benefits?)

The Governor should immediately form a commission to investigate all aspects of the Wuhan virus epidemic. Someone is cooking the books and that someone needs to be identified and indicted, not just for criminal behavior but for the harm caused the citizens everywhere.

According to this report; 2 + 2 = 500

Hospitals from all over the USA are listed in this *Florida* report.
This means the data is being collected/processed on a *federal* level, then released to the States.

So it looks like someone at the *federal* level has screwed up the numbers.

Here’s a link to the Florida report.

Should be a Federal crime to intentionally misrepresent bulk data like that.

A few weeks ago it was explained that CDC offiically changed the reporting of “cases”.

“Cases” include “probables/presumptive” which means any contacts a positive test person had over the last week or whatever. Whether they have symptoms or not. Even a presumptive’s (not tested or not positive) contacts can be counted.

Also included apparently are those with antibodies showing they had it earlier, very possibly with no/minimal symptoms.

Add to that people who don’t even show up for appointments for testing are given positive results, a lot of people reporting this.

And add to that that anyone with “viral particles” (however they acquired them) cand test positve.

And the final crapola is many of the tests give false positives. I’ve read of cases where nurse and doctors have sent in tests with swabs dipped in saline, or no swabs at all. Results? POSITIVE.

The entire edifice is rotten. The CDC also never says how many “cases” are actually sick or in hospitals.

The 98% report will be widely disseminated.

The correction will not.

Narrative accomplished...

But the CDC, a federal agency that should be put out of its misery, mandated all the stuff I just posted above. They obviously want to inflate cases and “good” health people in the states go along with the program.
