Good gracious! The ridiculous folks on Team Apocalypse are moving the goalposts again! We've noted before that we're performing 10x more #COVID19 tests IN A SINGLE DAY than public labs test on influenza IN AN ENTIRE YEAR.

NOW they say... it's still not enough!

ake states that Harvard is asking for 3.5 Million tests a day. The Admiral attempts to say Harvard and others have increased this number by 10X. At 4:11 Jake states that Harvard has been very consistent for 3-4 months of 3.5 million per day.
Lies.

Our good friend @therealarod1984 went digging and struck gold!

On June 26, The Covid Tracking Project had the Harvard Global Health standard as a line on their Testing Graphs being published daily. The recommendation was 500 Thousand per day. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1276638265072746496?s=20

They continued to run this number of 500K for the next 2 days.

On July 11, Covid Tracking tweeted their daily testing chart, and noted that Harvard Global Health’s Recommended Daily testing was now 1.6 Million per day
4/
Harvard Global Health even responded that day to a question about why the Recommendation had changed to 1.6M from 500K. They responded with a very circular argument.

5/
Fast forward 2 more weeks to July 26, CNN is running banners touting this new number of 3.5 Million to 5 Million per day. Again Tapper states during the interview that this has been the recommendation for “months.”

As @kerpen notes this is now the Testing Industrial Complex
