The rate of spreading is still >> rate of testing


Increase of testing is 300% a day at times. For infections to increase greater than that you would need each infected individual to infected 3+ people a day. You may mean that the number of infected is still higher than the number of tests available


The only way to stop the spread is to have accurate testing and a population willing to abide by quarantine measures on a voluntary basis when tested positive as well as immediate tracing of contacts. Anything less than that and the spread will continue.


How do you know the rate of spread if you can’t test?
