I still want to know where a fourth of those people are. You either are in the hospital, released, or never been there. Where is the other 100 people or so? Are some people getting another test after their first positive?

Train A, traveling 40 mph, leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. One hour after Train A leaves Westford, Train B, traveling 70 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet?
My Math:
4/1 data 7340 -, 549 +
4/2 data 8054 -, 614 +, 779 tests performed
4/3 data 8764 -, 699 +, 795 tests performed
Just recently started tracking this, so that's all I have. DM Rag data used.
Iowa department of health under Covid 19 has all the daily information and you don’t have to worry about the Tags bad math.
Seems to vary greatly between facilities/ which lab they are sent to. Some of that is attributable to backlog I assume.
If it is possible for you to work at home and you aren't, then your company is absolutely NOT following the governor's recommendation. She's said every press conference, if you can work at home, do it. If your employee can work from home, let them.
Curious what type of business it is. Because they could declare shelter in place, and if they can claim they are essential themselves as a business or if they support essential businesses and allow them to operate, you are right back where you are now.
I agree that SIP is probably needed just for the reason like your employers' case. It probably shouldn't change for most, but it will get people's attention.
EDIT: I see you recently posted what your job is, and first, thanks for doing the work you do. Talking out of my ass because I don't know the details, but it seems like right now they should be allowing you to minimize or eliminate in-homes based on the governor's guidance. But I suppose depending on what services you are providing, severity of the need, your employer could probably make the case for being essential under SIP.

Total of 46 released yesterday, 58 today. So 12 for the 24 hr period. I apologize if I'm repeating previous posts, got way behind in this thread.
This is me helping mine.
I helped my son with Algebra once, he got a C on the homework. all the answers were right but it was done wrong. After that I would tell him the answer doing it my way and tell him he had to figure out how to get there.
I think everybody getting admitted to a hospital is getting the test, no matter the reason for their admittance. Then the lag time for the test and determining the actual clinical reason for their admiitance could explain it. Just a WAG though.
It's not the math as much as determining exactly what the labels in each graph exactly mean. The DM Rag is very confusing. I probably shouldn't be using it.
For all our disagreement here please know that I get this concern. I've got kids. This isn't pleasant.
Maybe I'm misreading you, but are concerned that an SIP is going to include an order to literally not leave your house but for grocery trips and other essentials? Because I don't think you have to worry about that.
But there's no doubt we're stuck in our present state through, if I had to guess, somewhere between mid-May and early June. But if you're working from home already I wouldn't expect your experience to be any different than what you're doing now.
So if Reynolds would do a SIP, was wondering about places like blood and plasma donating locations. I assume it is up to the state to determine was is essential and what is not. I work for a company that is out of state. My business is considered essential in that state, but don't know if it would be considered that here in Iowa. Just wondering.
