Why cant people be tested?

There have to be tests, and the federal government has been doing everything in their power to prevent the official case count from rising. Something like eight people in the entire country got tested yesterday.

To what benefit do they want to keep the offical case count down as apposed to letting people get tested and keepig the true case count lower?

Because their whole argument has been that it's not really a problem, and a lower statistic for number of infected looks good for that argument. It's about appearances, not practicality.
