Are you slow about everything or just feign stupidity with respect to covid?  After four months of this, you must realize that the number of positive cases is meaningless because it is dependent on how many tests are given.  The number that is relevant is percent of tests positive.[/quote]

No need to be rude.  After 6 months of following COVID, I am aware that countries that have managed to control this virus have been paying attention to TWO measures:

1) new cases per million per day

2) test positivity

The new cases per million per day is necessary to measure how much and how fast the virus is spreading.  Countries in Europe are looking at VERY low levels -- maybe 10 new cases per million per day.

The test positivity helps validate that you are doing enough testing to be able to be confident that your new cases, per million per day is an accurate measure.  If you tried to pretend you didn't have a lot of cases by just not testing most people,  you could claim you only had 10 new cases per million per day.  But the high test positivity would rat you out.
