I just found out from my wife who works in a hospital that a single patient can represent multiple covid positives

First, I don't believe you without proof. Second, all ILI's are counted as covid including 15 people that are around someone who had an influenze like illness ie. contact tracing. Plus, you don't even have to test positive or take the test to be a case.

So you don't believe this reasonable claim that follows the logic: positive cases are counted on the basis of how many tests are positive and some people are tested many times resulting in many positive tests. Which just makes sense. Yet you believe some retarded claim that contact tracing is being used to out right lie about the numbers?!! This is too fucking stupid to be real. Of all the evidence that you are a shill this takes the cake. Literally attacking sound arguments and inserting retarded ones.

No, I need proof. Contact tracing is inflating the numbers as you do not have to test positive to be a case, you just have to be around someone if you allow them to track you through bluetooth;

some people are tested many times resulting in many positive tests.

Sure, I believe it, but I don't believe OP until he provides some sort of evidence.

How is my argument retarded? States will count a case as someone in close proximity to someone who tested positive. They admit that.

I'm only sayin that we need proof from OP.

No, I need proof

Then you must have proof that contact tracing alone is being used to make claims of positive cases. Please show that proof.

They admit that.

I have never heard anyone make that claim before. Please direct me to where I can hear or see someone in charge of the official tally admit to using this tactic.

I'm only sayin that we need proof from OP.

No you aren't, you are injecting a completely absurd claim into a totally reasonable conversation while at the same time demanding unreasonable amounts of evidence. These are propaganda techniques.
