Here’s a clever reply from a friend: Our President and Vice President are serious when they say that the rise in confirmed cases is largely the result of more tests. Here's my take on the more tests logic.
Why not just solve the world wide population problem by passing into law that there cannot be any more pregnancy tests. No more tests. No more babies. Simple. Brilliant. And when the population comes under control, gradually allow pregnancy tests to resume to allow the population to increase.
