So you test those that have serious symptoms and need to go to the ER.
Why? Those seem like the least useful to test. They are known sick, known to be in need, and already being treated.
It's the mild symptoms we need to know most. We need to know how to change behaviour to keep as many people functional as possible, while stopping the spread as much as possible.

The problem with limited testing is that it is being used to claim that the spread isn't happening,
No it is not.
Um, try all news outlets, every government speach.

Excuse me yes, one certain elected official, and his favorite news station.
But thinking people already know that is false bullshit.

Even the WHO uses the US "official" test numbers. Not the doctor's believed numbers.
50K infected in the US is the number that ever source repeats.

Here is an example. And boy have the numbers grown since I went to sleep. Now the NYT is pretty liberal. And they don't state that this is the real number, they state that this is tested. But when presented in this way, there's nothing but the tested number. Nothing mentions "testing withheld or unavailable, so not connected to real cases", it requires people to see this data and then research and put together that it doesn't mean what they think that it means. This is how television ads work... state something like what people want to hear, don't point out that they misunderstand, and they believe that they've been told something different than they have.

Even the URL says "cases" not "tests".

and only give out as many tests as they feel that they can admit to at the time.
Prove it. Because all reports of the supply chain are that test are being made as fast as possible. Including testing for new version that provide faster results.

Exactly. That's my whole point. We aren't reporting what we believe the tests have told us, but only underlying data that, without knowing how the tests are being withheld, means literally nothing.

It was announced here. Hard limits to testing, not based on available tests. They have a government issues limit to daily reports for the DFW.

In Mexico their testing facilities were told that they couldn't administer the tests. And that's first had info from a testing facility because someone tried to go there and they had an announcement that they were forbidden to test for COVID.

There's no tinfoil hate. You know that the tests are withheld in some cases, that's fact. Dallas is an example, but everyone is reporting it everywhere. We know it first hand in at least Mexico, as well.
And we know that that info isn't being reported along with the numbers. So we are dealing with simple fact. There's nothing to extrapolate.
We are dealing with things like.... how bad is the situation? 5 Five? Five out of.... what? Ten? One hundred? No... just five. Sounds scary, but it means nothing.

This is all conjecture. You have proven nothing.

No, there's not a single piece of conjecture. Those are all the reported facts. Absolutely zero conjecture.

Conjecture is saying it is conjecture. You are assuming I've changed what was reported without any reason to believe so.

- You are a well known opponent to anything in the US medical industry.
- You are well known to use broad strokes claims of everyone or everything that are not actual provable by documented reports.
I have plenty of reason to assume so.

Except neither of those things are relevant here. The first isn't related, at all. I'm not just talking about the US, and I'm certainly not talking about the medical industry. And the second is unrelated as there is no broad stroke, just a simple proved fact.
The conjecture is entirely on your side. You are using broad strokes about me and trying to say that because I dislike X that facts not from me about Y and Z must be false. That's both ad hominem, and completely wrong on top.
