But how many are actually very sick? There have been a lot of people testing positive around here with nothing more than cold symptoms and sometimes a headache for a day. Our county has been flipping out because of higher numbers of positive tests and put in more restrictions. They kept saying in the media that the higher number of positive tests were NOT because of higher overall numbers of tests. Then last week it comes out that they were holding back large numbers of negative tests to keep the % where they wanted it. All of a sudden the story changed to be that the large number of negative tests WAS ONLY because there had been SO MANY more tests done overall. The positive % was pretty much exactly the same as it has been for many weeks but that number meant they had to ease restrictions (according to their plan that they put out) but they obviously wanted to increase restrictions......
The best "science" so far though has been when they claimed that it was "scientifically proven" that the peaceful protests (aka riots) didn't cause ANY spike in the positive test numbers BECAUSE they asked every single person who tested positive a series of questions and almost everybody (I believe it was around 98%) refused to answer the question about whether they had participated in a "protest". They did however answer the other questions and say that they had been in family gatherings and spent time at bars. Very good science there..... 2% said they didn't protest, 98% refused to answer so it's completely obvious that protesting didn't play any role...... so the county put restrictions on all gatherings and essentially shut down any bar that didn't have outdoor seating and serve food (except of course for the "peaceful protests" who continue to gather whenever/wherever they want and shut down roads etc).

Our Utah curve looks even better than this and we have plenty of testing capability and are doing more tests than ever before. No natl guard involvement at all... We can test 7000 per day here but only have a demand for about 1300 tests per day. Again, no natl guard involvement ... ;-) My wife just pointed out that once school starts it will blow this curve.

Yup, that's what you get with controlling the data and reducing the testing rates... Here in our county the testing rate has been reduced by 2/3 because the resources of the national guard have been pulled.
