Vice President Mike Pence said more than 685,000 coronavirus tests have been completed in the United States as of Friday morning.

Pence said that hospitals across the country are now reporting their testing numbers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Federal Emergency Management Agency in real time, something that was not the case when testing first began.

However, those numbers are not being reflected on the CDC’s US testing page, which paints a far different picture.

The CDC's number are lower because they’re not reporting out data from private or commercial labs.
