To add to this - I have heard people say, "There is just more testing being done, which is why you have more positives."
I personally needed a Covid test yesterday when I had a number of symptoms. I live in the liberal / Democratic state of Washington, where most of the public officials have taken Covid seriously. To my horror, I discovered it was VERY difficult to get a Covid test. I searched online for facilities that did testing, and called 10 of them. Most of them either put me into eternal hold or told me I wasn't an existing patient. Finally, I drove to a Walgreens after being told by a rep that I would be tested there. Nope, pharmacist refused. Finally, I went o a private testing company. I spent 4-5 hours calling and driving just to get this done.
Imagine how many people are quitting sooner than I did and actually have it.
