What difference does the positive test count make. The only 2 numbers that matter are how many in the hopital and how many dead.
Nobody did or does these ridiculous counts for any other viruses. There only purpose is so that politicians can pat themselves on the back and say what a good job they are doing controlling it.
We know there's a problem. Quit adding the drama to it. Open the economy's of the world up
Your idea has been tried all over the world and has been an abject failure.
Positive test numbers are most important as they give a good idea of exactly where the disease hot spots are so the country can best allocate its resources.
The number of positives is also is an excellent prognosticator of what is coming so we can anticipate hospitalizations.
It is called being proactive.
The dead cannot be helped.
Those in the hospitals are being helped as much as possible.
The overall idea is to try to reduce the spread and publishing the dead and the hospitalized numbers have zero positive effect.
People are if anything "under afraid" of the virus and will not be scared into behaving in a safer fashion.
There have not been what you wrongly term "ridiculous" counts for other viruses because the world has not seen anything like this virus since 1918.
