I am interested in establishing this blog as a means of additional transparency to the public, outreach to the community, and information dissemination to all who choose to look. Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory.

COVID-19 and Escambia County's "Dashboard-Delta" for 3-30-2020---2,122 Tests Unaccounted For......Why?



As of COB yesterday, 3-29-2020 (per this graph, above, that was sent out by staff)  there have been a total of 2,750 COVID-19 tests administered locally over the last month in Escambia County.

But this morning on Florida's COVID-19 Dashboard, below, it lists "total tested" number now as 628.

The delta between how many tests have been performed and how many the state lists as "total tested" is growing now, to 2122 tests. 

We know getting the results back is resulting in a lag in reporting, at least that's what we are being told.  But why does the State of Florida's dashboard not list the correct number of tests administered, 2,750, but rather a much smaller number 628??  And where does the 628 figure come from?  It isn't accurate, and the delta this week is bigger than it was late last week.

Last week that delta was 1,958 tests....
