Testing here is way down because nobody much wants to be tested unless they show symptoms or have to for work.

Testing of a rep pop sample would be interesting, but not of a self selecting population.

But % positive can just be an artifact of raw cases/test numbers though, so I don't find it to be particularly enlightening either.

Really, the only way to compare the severity/impact from one region to another, is to look at a normalized view of hospitalizations/ICU/deaths.
Yep. And as you point out, "normalized" is key, so it's adjusted for population...

Something like this:

This is 'Murica in a nutshell.

There's a virus?
It's 75% asymptomatic?
I'll get tested if I feel sick.

The US does pretty on well testing per capita relative to other larger nations.  I certainly prefer not to be tested again.  I didn't like it, at all.


The UK is slightly ahead of the US, as is Denmark.  The rest of Europe is behind.

The newer tests are much better. But, if you don't feel sick, you shouldn't do it again. Takes up too much resources for right now.

I was tested August 5.  The governor here shut down a test facility that could handle 5,000 tests a day.  They were doing 150 or so.

What's so strange about that? 

I'd get a test if I have symptoms or if due to contact tracing I have a significant risk due to exposure. 

I have no reason to get tested just for funsies. I'm gonna at least make them work for it to implant the chip.

I find it absurd to criticize Americans for not wanting to line up and get tested.

Yeah, I don't get this.  If we can't keep up with testing demands that's one problem.  If people who are showing symptoms or have had contact with someone who tested positive are avoiding testing, that's also a problem.

But people not signing up for arbitrary tests for no reason, that's fine.  It would probably skew % positive numbers down

Yes, they did. It will be interesting to see how things go.

I suspect things will be OK, as everyone I see is wearing masks and keep their distance. Also, just because they are allowed to do so doesn't mean the owners of the places are going to allow full capacity. I'm betting on not many doing that.
