Why not follow the Japanese model? They have only done 1000 tests per million people (we’ve done 15k/million). Their death numbers look good

The key is smart testing and the number of tests performed per positive test. Japan has tested more than 10 per positive and the US is under 6. We're under 3 in New York and just over 2 in New Jersey. Basically, We've been testing sick people as opposed to testing sick people plus all the people the sick people may have come in contact with. Thus, New York and New Jersey have, by far, more deaths per capita than any other place on Earth.
