These graphs *do not* speak for themselves. They correspond to very very different testing regimes. The map is not the territory. We know that cases in Arizona are rising. It's worrisome. But all these comparisons with past New York are not valid and are misleading people.https://twitter.com/maddow/status/1280921756170141696 …

Brian WesburyVerified account @wesburyUS COVID testing has expanded from around 100k per day in March and April to over 600k now. If we had been testing 600k per day the entire time, and we use the previous positive test rate (which is an assumption), this is what it would look like. Today’s surge would be small. pic.twitter.com/7BOoCkEeP31 reply 0 retweets 1 like

It's one guess, but the positivity rate is confounded weirdly and reported unevenly, too. Yeah, it sucks.
