You aren't wrong. This article describes another trick: https://www.conservativereview.com/news/horowitz-mass-testing-results-endless-panic-false-positives/ https://www.conservativereview.com/news/horowitz-mass-testin... The Harvard Global Health Institute was claiming the USA needed to do 500k tests per day to succeed at fighting COVID. The moment this was achieved they suddenly changed their recommendation to 1.6 million tests per day. Just weeks later they were recommending 3.5 to 5 million per day. CNN interviewed an administration official who stated that the numbers keep changing, and the presenter actually 'corrected' the guy by claiming Harvard's recommendations had been the same for months. Their reasoning is the more cases there are, the more tests need to be done. With any non-zero FP rate increasing the number of tests increases the number of cases, so this is purely circular and yields a no-win situation in which no matter how much testing the USA does it can never be sufficient. You do have to wonder if setting up a no-win situation for the USG is intentional, especially as their recommendations appear to be arbitrary.
