A Harris County City Council meeting features testimony regarding a massive backlog of over one million COVID-19 tests that were dumped into the system in August. Officials allegedly recorded these old cases as new daily positives to justify keeping the county at a "red" threat level. While the reported 14-day average was 973 cases, the actual average of new cases was approximately 272, suggesting data manipulation to maintain emergency restrictions.

Dr. Deborah Birx explained that the transition from low-throughput platforms to high-speed private sector testing will cause a dramatic spike in diagnosed cases. This increase is attributed to clearing a backlog of specimens rather than a sudden surge in new infections. Birx warned that the media might use this statistical "slope of the curve" to falsely claim the U.S. situation is worse than Italy's.
