The numbers watchers remind me of people who rush to see a burning building. They can’t get enough of the hysteria.

lists the daily tests, by state, as well as the numbers the enemedia reports. So far for today, the U.S has 7,678 news cases and 127,710 tests. That’s 6.0% positives for today. From day one (not including today) we see 1,367,638 cases out of 9,444,525 tests, for an average 14.48% positive.
New Jersey’s numbers are instructive. From day one, not counting today, there were 140,008 cases and 415,969 tests, for 33.65% positive. For today, it’s 922 new cases and 9,964 tests, so 9.25% positives today. Now I don’t know whether the statistics count tests given or tests with results, and also how many days lag between tests and results, just illustrating that the numbers are here in enough detail to indicate a real trend in declining cases and deaths.
If we test 127,710 people per day, 2,584 days to test everybody in the USA, at 330,000,000 people. That’s more than 7 years. Since only 6% of new tests show positive “herd immunity” will take many months/years/never. Similarly, we can never “prove” that COVID-19 has been eradicated.
