I've noticed that the Liberal rags don't talk about deaths, as this is going down. Let's look at some interesting data from Indiana.
In the first week of testing only 800 tests were being done per day. Three weeks later, 2700 tests per day. three weeks later, 4400 tests per day, three weeks later 5600 tests, then 7000, then 9500. 20% of those who were tested early on were positive. This has shrunk to only 4% of those being tested this week are testing positive. Positive cases test results are increasing because we're doing 10 times the testing than we did early on. Many positive cases were not being confirmed along the way, while now most are. Anyone can now get tested in every state, I believe, so more positives are being found.
While positive cases in Indiana is down about 50% from the peak, deaths are down about 85%. Why? Because actual corona positives have decreased more than 50% Indiana. Other states are seeing the same.
"Other states are seeing the same." Nope.
The number of tests is NOT driving the increased numbers of positives:
