How do you do that when the administration is blocking the tests?
The more tests you perform, the more people you find who are infected. Trump cares little for how effective he is at fighting the disease, but cares a lot about how well he is perceived of as fighting the disease. In his mind, that is best done with fewer tests, thus fewer reported cases.
The doctors have a different perspective, of course. They want to see who has the bug and isolate them, but you can't do that without tests. Trump has not used the Defense Procurement Act to declare tests and test equipment critical. That means few tests. Making Trump look better is the only plausible motive anyone has come up with, but as you say it makes no sense. He is making it harder to fight the disease, which is only making him look worse.
I don’t feel a lot of need to check it as Rachel has been hammering that point home every night. (Covering the virus full time every weeknight leaves her repeating herself a lot.) It is old news if you keep up with the coastal media. I'm vaguely amazed you have kept yourself from hearing it.
