>>More testing = more cases.
Please for the love of god stop repeating this extremely misleading claim. The increase in new cases cannot simply be explained by the increase in testing.
>> Deaths, which happen regardless of how many tests you run, are down and have been trending down for months.
Deaths are a lagging indicator. Cases started to spike recently. Deaths will start to increase soon, especially when ICUs fill up and non-covid patients can no longer be treated in intensive care either.
