also
But what if we examine the 13 states with lowest case incidence?
Like NY, MI, etc.
They have few cases. You'd expect them to do few tests, right?
Actually, they're testing twice as many people (per capita) as hot zones
And in past 2 weeks, their testing has gone UP 4%

We are 95th in the world in having as many tests we need given number of cases.
China did 11 million tests in a weekend.

My Q: You said there can be too much testing. What could possibly be wrong with testing people too much for the virus and why not give a date on when all Americans will have access to same day testing?
