  3. ===positive test rate===

    Hard to tell that because so few tests have been done and come back.

  5. High positive test rate is a symptom of low testing rates, only testing folks that are obviously very sick.

    Curious about the high number of men under 60 reported in Cook County deaths. Are those Cook County jail inmates by chance?

  11. A high positive rate would likely be attributed to using the limited number of test kits on those showing symptoms that would likely produce positive results.
