Also, remember that you are making decisions based on old data, since case counts reflect infections that happened two weeks before.  Even with widespread testing where you can be fairly certain that you have an accurate estimate of patients who are positive, you still have to account for the five-day incubation period.  Because of that, by the time case counts start to rise, and measures are ratcheted up, it's too late and you will get hit with a wave two weeks later before the enhanced measures start to work.
