Are you using some metric other than "per-capita" for tests? I could understand something like "per-positive case", but it's unclear from your comments. I ask

Are you using some metric other than "per-capita" for tests? I could understand something like "per-positive case", but it's unclear from your comments.
I ask because the data I have shows the US solidly in the middle for the big EU countries over the past month (Germany and France don't show up on the daily graphs)
- Italy started earliest, but the daily per-capita tests have been higher every day except Apr 4: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-daily-covid-19-tests-per-thousand?yScale=log&time=2020-03-18..&country=ITA+USA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-daily-covid-19-...
- Austria, Czechia, and Portugal have been higher than the US more often than not: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-daily-covid-19-tests-per-thousand?yScale=log&time=2020-03-18..&country=USA+AUT+PRT+CZE+FRA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-daily-covid-19-...
- Belgium is on par; the UK & the Netherlands are definitely worse: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-daily-covid-19-tests-per-thousand?yScale=log&time=2020-03-18..&country=USA+BEL+GBR+NLD https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-daily-covid-19-...
