It's not. That one has its own inaccuracies though. Fortunately, Trump decided which company to go with for the PCR testing (or live virus) and he decided to go with 'Abbott'. There are plenty of broadcasts talking about the accuracy of Abbott's devices but nothing compared to the Antibody testing.
The Antibody testing appears to be where the numbers are most manipulated. After sifting through thousands of news segments, it's clear that there is a correlation between the testing of antibodies and the spike in cases (for a particular State). These tests are often given out for free before a spike occurs.
States are also combining the data between the PCR tests and the Antibody tests. All the while saying that the case numbers are what determines the reopening of local economies.
The CDC is also combining these numbers but 'are actively working to separate them'. The numbers they publish are also not real-time numbers. When they report deaths on a particular day, it doesn't mean they occurred in the last 24 hours. It's all about how fast they input the data. The reporting of deaths could be the accumulation of a week's worth of deaths but only reported that day.
