We love it when MDH shares metrics! lets look at a view of these % Positive Metrics back to Sept. 2020. See that peak in 10-19 when KIDS WEREN'T IN SCHOOL!

I guess @MDHCommMalcolm just "forgot" to mention that...

... wait, there's more!
The rate of change in % Positive is valuable to show what they call the "virulence" or "aggressiveness" of the "outbreak. Clearly the 10-14 age group rate of change would be higher than all other age groups?

Damn, that doesn't hold either!

This is ALL FROM MDH DATA!
So lets look at it without the big scary large font indication that 10-19 year olds are killing everyone else.

Again, the 40-59's are right up there with the 10-19's as a percent positive ranking? Hmm..
One more fun MDH "trick", the dates that they are using for this analysis are different from the dates they use in their Weekly Rpt, so there is no way to truly tie the tests by age group to the cases by age group. Keep using metrics that the public can't access @MDHCommMalcolm
One more for fun... Notice in the 5th week, 10-19 is in the big bold font and it is 0.7% lower than the high number.

In week 7, the ONLY bold number is the 10-19 number yet 30-39 is ONLY 0.2% lower... I guess each week has different criteria for font size and bolding!

Pathetic
