  1. It's not simply testing per capita that's important, David. How fast that testing is rolled out is more important. If you quickly jump to 20k tests a day, get ahead of the virus quickly by testing beyond those showing symptoms, and largely contain the virus, like S Korea did, then you don't really have to increase the testing rate. You could even lower testing significantly, and not end up with a high tests per million. If you allow the virus to spread to hundreds of thousands of people, you need to multiply the tests needed significantly, and just doing more tests per million, than S Korea, might not be enough. Italy, Spain, and Germany have almost double the test per million that S Korea does, and it's still not enough, because they rolled out mass testing too slowly. The US should probably be at 100k tests per million, rather than 10k.
