2020-05-21 | The CDC and States Are Misreporting COVID-19 Test Data - The Atlantic

'The public-radio station WLRN, in Miami, first reported that the CDC was mixing viral and antibody test results. '

'A negative test result means something different for each test. '

'The agency hopes to separate the viral and antibody test results in the next few weeks, she said in an email. '

'Antibody tests, by contrast, use blood samples to look for biological signals that a person has been exposed to the virus in the past. '

'They are considered the gold standard for diagnosing someone with COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus: State governments consider a positive viral test to be the only way to confirm a case of COVID-19. '
