More testing: Unfortunately the front line numbers presenting number of positive cases and deaths from it are anxiety provoking and no logical use can be made of them. It is the ratio between the positive cases and number of tests done that has significance, but unfortunately it is hard to find these numbers, not reported for different reasons, availability being the most common.
