A huge spike in coronavirus cases is coming. And that's a good thing

Over the next few days, there will be a dramatic surge in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases. But don’t worry: This only means that more people are finally being tested and treated for COVID-19.

The shortage of coronavirus testing thus far has crippled state governments’ abilities to contain the virus’s spread accurately and efficiently. Now that this testing is becoming more available, state officials and healthcare workers will have a much better understanding of what we’re up against.
