One day does not make a difference either way.
Hopefully it is, but it will take a good week to know for sure.

300 or 400 people got tested at the Cajundome last week, and I believe that testing is still going on. Those results haven’t come in yet. So I don’t really think you can say that just yet

Testing is happening every single day across the state now. Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and NOLA are going on and will only ramp up. Lake Charles will start drive through testing tomorrow.
Our ability to test will only increase. The next step from there will be how quickly we can diagnose. Once we get the sub 1 hour diagnostic it will really begin to help us identify and isolate cases. That will truly be when we can bend the curve back down.

Focus on number of deaths not infections.
That's not really a good approach either. I've been looking at the percentage of positive tests. Then, look at the number of deaths.
For example, Alabama is at ~8% positive and 0 deaths so far. Lousiana, from what I could gather, is nearly 24% positive and 20 something deaths (I don't recall the exact number).
Even then, they are still only testing a narrow group of people who are showing symptoms or have been around a known positive.

Flattening the curve pertains to preventing the hospitals from getting overrun. Testing is only obliquely related to that in that you can presume a certain percentage of those who test positive need hospitalization.

Great news!
