ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「As coronavirus cases have surged in recent weeks, President Trump has repeatedly said the growing number of infections is due to increased testing, not a worsening outbreak. An analysis by The New York Times, however, shows the rise in cases far outpaces the growth in testing. The average number of tests conducted nationwide has grown by 80% since early June to 780,000 per day. Daily case counts have grown by 215% in the same period. 31 states show an increase in cases beyond what is expected from expanded testing, if the severity of the outbreak had remained about the same. Florida, the state with the largest discrepancy, is reporting more than 11,000 new cases per day, on average, while only about 2,400 cases each day would be expected because of increased testing. California’s and Texas’ numbers are also far above what would be expected. In 14 states and Washington, D.C., testing has increased faster than recorded cases have, meaning positive test rates are falling.
