Update - Thursday, October 1

Low COVID-19 case count continues for South Carolina
Low case count? "As we continue to make adjustments to our internal database for more streamlined tracking of electronically reported test results (both COVID-19 and other disease test results), today's case numbers remain expectedly low as they reflect only results submitted to DHEC by email or fax."

DHEC announces 229 new COVID-19 cases Thursday as reporting delay continues
"Of the 20 deaths reported, one was a pediatric death (17 or younger), five were middle-aged (ages 35-64) and 14 were elderly people (ages 65 and up)."

From the link - electronic lab report (ELR) glitch to be resolved: "In an effort to make improvements to DHEC's internal process for ELR reporting, a technical update to the database resulted in unexpected delays for ELRs being fully included in our daily reports from Sept. 24-Oct 2. The issue has been resolved and testing and case numbers will resume normal reporting beginning tomorrow."

32.6% PERCENT POSITIVE NOT A TYPO! :eek:

DHEC announces 649 new COVID-19 cases, 31 additional deaths in SC | wltx.com

"Percent Positive
The total number of individual test results reported to DHEC yesterday statewide was 1,991 (not including antibody tests) and the percent positive was 32.6%.

The high percent positive reported out today is a result of the delayed electronic lab reports (ELRs) that DHEC is processing, as detailed in yesterday’s news release. A detailed breakdown of the delayed test results per day during the time period affected, Sept. 24-Oct 2., is being compiled and will be provided."

I hope this is still accurate!
(Note in the post below that we had 859 new positive cases reported today)

South Carolina has lowest COVID-19 transmission rate in the U.S. | wltx.com

Quoting myself to say . . . looks like it wasn't accurate to begin with, lol.

No, South Carolina likely doesn't have the lowest COVID-19 transmission in America
"For those who follow COVID numbers religiously, the claim itself was a red flag. South Carolina is still gaining new COVID cases at the same rate as the national average."

I knew it sounded fishy with our case rate (859 on Thursday) and consistently high percent positive (11.8%).
