    Presumably they can’t easily report by patient (I assume some patients get multiple tests over time) or there are instances where a patient gets a couple tests with mixed results

    That they only did 9 tests in 2020 is notable by itself

      You might be right. I read it as 2/9ths, which honestly I’ve seen the NYTimes do this. Really though, either of us may be correct as it isn’t clear.

      Edit: I read another source and you are correct.
