South Korea was testing 10,000 people per day at a time we had tested less than 500 people total in the United States.  Once we finally began to test as a country (we still aren't fully ramped up with testing yet, especially in more rural areas), what you saw was a drastic uptick in cases and deaths on a daily basis in the United States because the virus had already spread throughout the country well before testing started. We will continue to see a drastic uptick moving forward and likely won't see our peak for some time in the United States.  We have already overtaken the NUMBER 1 spot in countries with the most cases in the world, our numbers are going up by over 15000 cases a day at this point and with more testing, that number will grow.
