When Trump says “if we didn’t do any testing we would have very few cases” he isn’t just being stupid, although it is that.

He’s also telling us what’s important to him: the numbers.

If nothing else, he’s aware that all the numbers are very, vary bad for him politically.

This is also the reason for his blundering and foot-dragging on ramping up testing. The numbers. He’s said it from the start. He likes it when the numbers are lower.

He couldn’t care less about public health or accurate measures of COVID-19, because dealing with those things realistically would mean acknowledging that the situation is far worse than he wants to admit in an election season.
