Total Suspected Reported Statewide: 188
38/100 up from
29/100 counties
This is a change of 47 additional cases from the last update, of cases statewide. That number was 141.
Case number discrepancies are starting to emerge as some of those suspected positive, but proven otherwise, are dropped from the count. I am using the higher numbers until the counts are otherwise adjusted.
Reported range today is from 137 to 188 cases.

(1,713 posts)We are at 238 with 75% in metro Nashville area. Luckily no deaths to date. My guess is rural counties are not testing. God speed

(26,076 posts)I read somewhere that a single infected person translates into 2.5 actual cases that are yet to be diagnosed. So I guess we are looking at the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you for the good wishes. All the best to you, evertonfc. Good luck.
