S. President s maintains that the reason cases are going up because more testing is being done across the country yeah well thats partially right but as one doctor said he said only half jokingly said youre never going to gain or lose weight if you never step on a scale to weigh yourself so the president is correct in a way that there is a lot more testing going on and that is partially why youre seeing more positive cases however what the president did not say that is very much factual is that in many states according to doctors and number crunchers the data that were coming in and seeing their rate of positive cases is far outpacing the rate of testing for example in the state of arizona one of the hardest hit states in the last couple weeks in the last 3 weeks the positive cases have gone up by 177 percent while testing has only gone up by about 85 percent so the positive case is far outpacing.

D. C. The Government Agency that looks at all of this so its very reputable and quite frankly very shocking they also did say the c. D. C.
