MANY states, California being the perhaps the worst offender, report positive tests diligently but negative tests erratically. So when you see a state report 150K "new" negative tests, it doesn't mean the tests were all conducted yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

On the cases and tests: California reported a huge backlog of negative tests today, which is why there was the sharp one-day increase. It probably does not represent a new normal of higher testing volumes, unfortunately. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead, for states like these, it means "we've had 150K more negative tests results since we last could be bothered to give you a good estimate of negatives". Odds are that many those negatives actually occurred days ago or even weeks ago. — PolitiTweet.org
