So if the world as a whole is rising like that and the US isn't, seems to reflect well on the US.

I think I heard him say that in one of his speeches when he was stumping earlier in the year. Taxes suck, but I get it.

Or did the "university hospital" have a proactive food testing program where they contacted you later?

LOL
Look up the term "contact tracing".

indeed, which was the original point. Either:

1. More testing is finding more asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cases.
2. Better treatments are meaning lower mortality.
3. The ‘rona’ is mutating toward lower pathogenicity.
4. Any or all of the above.

One other consideration - we are testing wrong. We should be testing to determine who might be contagious, not just who might have some small amount virus that represents no risk of transmission, does not make the carrier sick, and does nothing (save show up on our overly sensitive PCR test)

PS - testing to cycles of 40 is INSANE. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/09/...ce-says-about/

New confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the U.S. have climbed to an all-time high of more than 86,000 per day on average, in a glimpse of the worsening crisis that lies ahead for the winner of the presidential election.

Cases and hospitalizations are setting records all around the country just as the holidays and winter approach, demonstrating the challenge that either President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden will face in the coming months.

Daily new confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. have surged 45% over the past two weeks, to a record 7-day average of 86,352, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Deaths are also on the rise, up 15 percent to an average of 846 deaths every day.

The total U.S. death toll is already more than 232,000, and total confirmed U.S. cases have surpassed 9 million. Those are the highest totals in the world, and new infections are increasing in nearly every state.

Is the death curve anywhere close to mimicking the case curve like it did in the spring? Not in the slightest. No one has said deaths wouldn’t rise yet you think you’ve captured some kind of moral high ground despite the case and infection fatality rates being flat or even dropping.
