Because they are reporting the percentage of positive of people tested. Everyone knows that mostly symptomatic people are being tested. This isn't a new revelation.
THAT IS MY ENTIRE POINT When this thing is almost completely over, the percent positive of those getting tested will likely be even higher
It makes absolutely no sense to care about percent positive of just those tested

When testing demand and testing increase are occurring at the same time percent positive is increasing, then it is an indication of spread rather than regression.
