Same thing in my state. The figures reported by my State, CDC and Johns Hopkins have never matched!

I had a test Thursday at my doctor's office. It was a blood test and I got the results in 10 seconds, negative. When I asked the PA that did it if my results would be reported and she said, "we report only the ones that are positive". Interesting.

Might be since they have two different categories of determining positive cases:

"Positive Cases by Testing Source" and Positive Cases by Exposure Source."

I don't know what they mean by that, but that may be the reason.
