I disagree.
Without a doubt....more testing yields higher numbers. BUT.....many people are tested multiple times and each one of those tests are counted as a NEW case. That is just irresponsibly wrong on every level. I'm appalled at how the records are being kept in this country. It seems so antiquated. This is why I pay absolutely no attention to the numbers of any sort. I pay attention to how over whelmed the hospitals and health care workers are. I pay attention to how many satellite hospital beds are being set up in parking lots. I pay attention to the refrigerated trucks being used to store bodies because morges are filled to capacity. Nope.....I don't pay attention to the numbers.
