RE, you are wrong and Trump is right. The rise in the number of cases is ENTIRELY the result of the increase in testing. If there is no testing there are no cases. The infected people are just as infected, but they are not reflected in the statistics because nobody knows about them. The more testing is done the more cases are discovered. These are people who ARE NOT SICK. There is nothing to be sad about that they are infected. It’s doing them no harm. But now that they’ve been tested they are included in the statistics, so OF COURSE the number is rising.
Until about 20 years ago the number of known extrasolar planets was ZERO. Only when we started looking for them did we find any. Now the number keeps rising, not because they’re forming an increased rate but because we’re looking for them in more places and with more precise instruments.
