Why Covid-19 test data released by New York State and Erie County rarely agree

Interesting, especially the following:
County residency
Many people are tested and hospitalized in Erie County who are from other parts of Western New York. Erie County epidemiologists weed out cases from people who do not live in the county when collecting the Covid-19 data.
It is unclear how the state is accounting for its data geographically, Poloncarz said, but it's possible the state is not doing the same type of residential sorting as Erie County.
