More testing = more cases recorded whether or not there actually are more. And yes, we have been doing more testing every day.
There probably are a few more, but we can't stay locked down the 12-18 months it would take to get a vaccine. That would be more fatal that the disease itself.
Right now, for under 65s in the USA, the chance of dying from Covid is lower than the chance of driving/riding in a car 16-17 miles each day. We do not forbid such people to use cars, so why forbid them to work, eat out, etc.
Not sure about chances for over 65s. Anyway, its up to each person - they can always stay home, shop at the 7am senior grocery hour, use telemedicine, etc., if they wish.
