IDK but mostly I think news organizations should replace their charts on *raw confirmed case counts* with charts on the *positive test rate* and how it varies over time. That does create complications of its own, but it's a better first approximation IMO. https://t.co/tCd2vl8feU — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 is there a good apples-to-apples chart that you have seen that shows how the nation would be faring… https://t.co/9T5nMn6Fz6

Experts estimate that only something like 1 in 10 coronavirus *infections* are turning into confirmed *cases* in the US. So long as that's the case, the number of confirmed cases is going to be very sensitive to how much testing we're doing. — PolitiTweet.org

If the positive test rate is falling, then we know AT LEAST one of two GOOD things is happening. Either infections are falling OR we've figured out how to do more widespread testing, or both. — PolitiTweet.org
