@mattyglesias @conorsen I wish there were more discussion around test rates and less about the horribly misinformed idea that deaths are being overcounted — PolitiTweet.org

@conorsen @mattyglesias 3a. Some reporters feel as though reporting raw case counts is "just relaying facts" whereas reporting on the positive test rate is coming to an analytical judgement/"doing math" 3b. Reporting on % test rates *does* require some work because not all states report it reliably — PolitiTweet.org

@TheStalwart Well, most states only report *confirmed* deaths and confirming deaths can take a long time. And at least in theory, reporting could be affected by testing volume (as an edge case, you might not perform a posthumous test if you don't have a lot of tests). https://t.co/3cHTbrdjp4 — PolitiTweet.org

2 weeks ago on 4/26, NYC had reported 5,213 *probable* COVID-19 deaths and 11,460 *confirmed* deaths. As of today… https://t.co/nozfjp9n3y
