Christiansburg town council meeting this week gave some info on the NRV...

I learn't that the mobile testing sites they're doing get sent to VT for testing and has a fast 1-2 day turnaround for results. Also that positive cases get reported to the VDH.... Negative do not.
With these tests, the + rate is around 2-3 percent. The + rate in the 24073 zip code is near 2%. The testing person was asked why the VDH stats showed around 50 new cases on one day last week. He said he has no idea where that number came from. The most we had in one day was 15, likely due to a data dump.
