There is limited evidence to prove the prevailing political argument that workers are staying home in droves to collect free money. In reality, many people are changing careers to escape historically low pay.

A person who tests positive is counted only once, but negative tests can be counted repeatedly if the same person got more than one test. That makes the situation look better than it is.

Florida might be minimizing the depth of its #COVID19 problem by underreporting its rate of positive tests, experts say. The method used to calculate the โ€œpositivity rateโ€ โ€” a critical measure โ€” puts more emphasis on negative tests, skewing results
