But we'd much rather have the number of tests still increasing! (Even though it would lead to the number of detected cases increasing.) We're gonna need a **lot** more tests, and tests with a shorter turnaround time, to detect new hotspots, and then to get back on our feet. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the flip-side of what I was talking about a week or two ago when the number of tests was increasing very rapidly. Now that we have a more constant baseline, the nominal rate of increase in detected US cases is not nearly as high. — PolitiTweet.org

Frankly, whenever the media reports on the number of new detected cases *without* context on how many tests were conducted, it creates disincentives for governments to do more testing since doing fewer tests may make things look superficially better (see also: China). — PolitiTweet.org
