Fewer test while more cases. The more you test, the more you find. Thus, there are more undetected cases out there. Let us accept that Trump is reducing the number of tests to reduce how bad he looks, and as a byproduct he is making smart isolation harder to do. With isolation being reduced in red states that are still increasing the caseload under their minimal isolation, the possibility of overloading the health system is really there.
The bottom line is that it is bad and getting worse in the middle of the country. Can you comprehend that?
Those of us in the exurbs -- especially in places with terrible healthcare infrastructure -- getting COVID-19 started among the general population would overwhelm the system and lead to many avoidable deaths. I expect to see it in the Fall.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
