There's a lot to be said about how different governments, institutions, their politicians and their officials handle this pandemic. Testing is overall still not up to standard. Not only in the US. In the Netherlands starting April 4000 tests a day were conducted. Around the 7th of April the authorities and the news media announced the number of tests would go up to 21000 a day. The next week, on April 14 another extra 19000 tests a day were announced. In my book that equates to 40000. However the news item conveyed it would lead up to a total of 29000 test. It makes one wonder where the other 11000 tests are. 
Last weekend, around the the 9th of May the person responsible for all the testing was shortly interviewed about the press briefing he issued. It said starting from June 1 the amount of tests a day would reach 30000 per day. After the interviewer asked several times how many tests a day are conducted at the very day, the answer of the person responsible was brief. Since the beginning of April onto May the daily amount of tests conducted number up 8000 to 9000 a day. 
All the news in the mean time therefore should be considered misleading, a misconstruction, misinformation, misconstrued to an outright lie. Apart from the question, the main news outlets in the Netherlands apparently just copy the numbers and don't do their own calculations based on their own messages.
It is almost too inconceivable to see, hear or read how incompetence is at the helm of this doomsday ship heading to next spike. Meanwhile these so-called leaders want the population to go back to normalcy. Only people who are possibly infected with Covid19 and need hospital care are being tested. Tracking and tracing their contacts isn't being done on the prolific basis other neighboring countries are performing. In the Netherlands one doesn't know where this virus is, nor is there a clue to find out on the short run. 
I am concerned about the possible outcome.
