While the state has averaged more than 55,000 tests processed per day in January, DHHS does not issue a demographic breakdown of those who are being tested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the main thing that I thought about was, \u2018Wait a minute, is this just because there\u2019s been less testing among the group, among Blacks over that corresponding time period?\u2019\u201d Cen\u00e9 said in the article. \u201cBut I can\u2019t verify that that is actually the case, because given that we haven\u2019t really seen the same trend in hospitalizations or deaths, it would make me think that it\u2019s a testing issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire story on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs17.com\/community\/health\/coronavirus\/a-little-skeptical-black-people-make-up-shrinking-share-of-covid-cases-in-nc-but-is-that-stat-deceptive\/\">CBS17.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A news report on a CBS17.com data analysis found that black people in North Carolina have accounted for a shrinking share of the total number of VOID-19 cases over the past few months.
