Incorrect. Even adjusted for population, the US has more testing completed and ongoing now than South Korea did at the peak of their epidemic.
But hey, I get it. The Democratic line is to try to focus on red herrings like testing in the hopes of distracting from things that could save lives while permitting reopening of the economy, like widespread wearing of masks. After all, if people were saved from Covid-19 and economic devastation, President Trump might be reelected! Better that as many people die as possible so Biden has a chance instead, as far as the Democrats are concerned.

This may be a difficult thought for a leftist to comprehend, but just because one thing matters does not mean it's the only thing that matters. That's right, more than one thing can affect the course of the pandemic at the same time! Mindbending, isn't it?
In the case of Brazil and Australia, higher temperatures are compensating for their near complete lack of serious mitigation measures. They haven't even closed schools on a broad scale.
Southern Australia is going to have to start implementing real mitigation measures soon. Winter is coming.
