There is an increase in Coronavirus cases because our testing is so massive and so good, far bigger and better than any other country. This is great news, but even better news is that death, and the death rate, is DOWN. Also, younger people, who get better much easier and faster!

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump argued last night that the increase in the number of cases is related to the amount of tests that have been carried out. In a tweet on his Twitter account: "Our testing system is working great, and much better than any other country, but the even better news is the resin of the dead is in decline."
