It may not change your point, but actually the US is currently averaging about 800,000 tests per day according to covidtracking.com
Thanks for the correction. I wasn't careful enough to recognize that the CDC apparently doesn't get all the tests (but that surprises me). In the text above the table I used was "The number of specimens tested for SARS-CoV-2 using a molecular assay and reported to CDC by public health laboratories and a subset of clinical and commercial laboratories in the United States are summarized below."
