re: Here’s some evidence that certain reporters want more testing so that things look worse

My point hasn't shifted. You're saying that a particular news outlet is giving the overall case figure without the necessary context that the case figure came from a record testing day and that the case positive figure is 11.25% and it is misleading to do so. Indeed it is. But it is equally as misleading for you to not offer the additional context that 11.25% is a really bad case positivity rate. Californa is around 8% and that's also bad. New York and New Jersy are less than 1%. The rest of the first world is pretty low as well. 11% ain't it.

I get that, but maybe it is the start of a downward trend.

There is already evidence of hospitalization plateau in az and tx. but too soon to tell.
