The media should stop "fact-checking" things that aren't false. //

There is a rise 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!

Not true, per Asst. Health Secretary Admiral Brett Giroir: "There is no question that the more testing you get, the more you will uncover – but we do believe this is a real increase in cases, because the percent positivities are going up."
Jake, those two statements aren’t contradictory. ALL of the following are true:
testing is UP.
rate of positivity is UP.
total cases are UP.
fatality rate is DOWN.
deaths are DOWN.
We will defeat this virus.
