And a lot of the positive cases being released aren't even current. There was a guy on the local Houston radio the other day talking about how they were showing 1000 new cases the day before but when it was looked at, only 130 of those cases were people who had been tested in the month of September. The vast majority were tests from over a month ago, even going back as far as late May, early June. It is almost like someone is taking all those positive cases and releasing them in a manner to make it look like the cases were spread out over more time. He was saying that the numbers were actually many times higher than they were reporting and immediately fell off, now that all those positive cases from months ago are coming in, they can artificially keep the newly infected rate up...
