So you don't know how many tests are being done, but you're sure that more testing is being done. Would you respond the same way if you learned that less testing is being done? Would you respond the same way if you learned that proportionately - the same amount of testing is being done, per 100,000 people with symptoms, as there were three weeks ago per 100,000 people with symptoms

If you don't know how many were done, then you don't know whether or not it's more being done. Especially since there wouldn't be any NEED for more being done, if more people weren't showing up with symptoms.
Have you not been paying attention? More test kits have been made available therefore more testing is being done. But, we still are not informed as to how many total tests are being done. We only know how many tested positive and not how many tested negative.If we had both numbers we'd know how many tests are being done. No contradiction at all. Your response misses the entire point.
