The only thing I really wanted to say is, "tests per million" is a smart statistic, while "total number" of tests is a dumb statistic. Trump's "information" is truly meaningless-- 1) comparing the flat total from two different-sized populations, 2) over two arbitrary periods of time.
I could pick eight days from any country where they did more tests than eight weeks from any other country. It's actually the same problem you've pointed out (tweet and article from incomparable times, thus meaningless).
