re: #83 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

In addition, his math is bad. If we cut testing in half, we wouldn’t necessarily find half as many cases, because testing is still largely driven by symptomatic cases. So the positivity rates would look worse, and people would be pointing out how the high positivity means the US testing is inadequate, and then he’d be bitching that we need to do more tests.

To wit: in April, the positive rate was over 20%, as of yesterday, it was around 8%. Marked improvement on the percentage. But still very bad, not good, when it comes to real numbers.
