The county accounts for 81% of the state’s reported overall case total.The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.The Health District does post a Trends Report that redistributes cases by symptom onset.

A conspiracy? An overreaction?This error will never be an issue. Sisolak claims he know statistics watch his very first press conference about the COVID 19 crisis here in NV. Stated he knows statistics. Numbers have always been wrong here in NV. Will anyone ever be held accountable??? Look at unemployment here people still have'n gotten there money. Sisolak caused alot of people to be homeless due to this unemployment disaster. Now a numbers error from the data being entered wrong on COVID 19. Something is wrong here in NV and it doesn't look good. How about a FBI investigation here on the data and companies doing the testing. That would clear up alot of questions.Keep it Clean.
