I didn't tweet that. He presented his evidence. Join in on his thread to contradict his evidence. I just found it interesting. Are you saying his chart is incorrect? It could be for all I know

None of the recent years compare on this graph
Also, not sure if I linked this before, but it's a good comparison:

Can't get the article without creating account... How far back does the NYT compare death rates? The guy above (no blue checkmark, granted) uses many of the same countries but shows some higher spikes within the past 20 years.
One thing that could be leading to the discrepancy is it's unclear what month he stops at in 2020.

This seems to be a pretty big deal
Why? There are some with 0% too. And everywhere in between. Should we also assume that 9% of those are actually positive and add them to the positive cases?

I wouldn't doubt there are more positive tests in Florida because they probably don't have the man power to process all the tests everyday.
I was messing around on Wikipedia trying to find the case mortality rate for Covid, and I found a page where it breaks it down by age group and state. It said that the mortality rate for 60-69 years olds in Mississippi is 16%. I looked at that because my parents are in their 60s. That's terrible if true. It was Wikipedia, so take it for what it's worth. I didn't look into their sources.
I think there could be a lot of explanations, especially with backlogged test results where they just dump positives on one day. There are a shitload with 0%, 1%, 2%, 10%, 20% ... 80%, 90%, 98%, etc. There is a full distribution from 0% to 100%. It doesn't look suspicious to me.
Some days, Mississippi reports 100% test positives for the state. I really think you'd have to look at one of those particular lab's reports for the whole week to have an understanding.
18-29 age group now is far the group with the highest number of cases by almost 2,000. Second highest group is 30-39 followed by 40-49.
Yep, from this image:

Speaking of Florida, 15300 new cases there today. NY's largest daily count was 11661.
68% percent of people at a New York Clinic tested positive for coronavirus antibodies,

NY's 7-day case avg peak was April 10th, and their 7-day death avg peak was April 12th. If you're a death is a lagging stat guy, then NY missed a boat load of cases 2-4 weeks before April 12th. If you think NY was competent testing, death stats are very encouraging for Florida. Florida not issuing death sentences on their LTC centers is probably helping their death comparison to NY though.
