“How is it mathematically possible to have a higher ‘rate’ than ‘reported’?”

Because most people infected with COVID-19 in March and April were never tested and, as such, never reported as positive despite being positive.

Now that more people are testing, more of the positive cases are reported as positive. And a larger percentage of positive cases are identified now than previously.

Capish?
