You're kidding right? Of course more testing could lead to more positives. Using your pregnancy logic, if I tested 100 women and they came back with 20 positives and then the next day tested tested 1000 women and came back with 100 positive that would be an increase in positive cases. The difference is the PERCENT positive. That's why all I care about is the PERCENTAGE of positive cases, which truly show the threat level.
