Page 29: Memorial Lee Hospital, then right below it Pancare of Florida. Same exact # of positive cases. Looks like a mistaken double-entry, unless they are testing same cases as part of redundancy. Btw, these two labs are 500 miles from each other.

Also, these high percentage positive cases go back to at least May (I got tired of looking. To see entire archive, remove name of pdf from link above and look for “state_reports_”).

I’ve identified four possible types of errors:

1. Completely wrong data as admitted by Orlando Health (state report says 98% pos, OH says reality is 9.4% pos)
2. Double entries: same data listed on successive rows (Memorial Lee vs Pancare)
3. Labs with no negative results, only positive results: this messes up lots of other calculations and graphs. There are many medium-to-small sized labs not reporting neg results.
4. Labs with only a handful of negs, much larger pos. Charitable explanation is these labs are only re-testing positive cases from another lab as a double check. I’d like that confirmed, and if true, are the results being double-counted in the final tally?
